Today we interviewed Melissa Robinson of Cripple Creek Realty, LLC about El Paso families selling their homes and fleeing to Santa Teresa and Las Cruces, NM to escape high taxation.
Melissa has been a real estate agent in Doña Ana County for five years and has sold dozens of New Mexico homes to El Pasoans who continue to work in El Paso.
Our high property tax is a major reason our City has suffered a net loss of more than 6,000 residents since 2017.
When I asked Melissa why so many El Paso families are packing up and moving to new Mexico, she replied: “The property tax. That’s the number one call that we receive. They’re scared. They don’t see an end to the property taxes going up in El Paso, so they want to relocate to New Mexico.”
If our taxing entities do not come together and develop a strategy to lower our property tax, El Paso risks becoming the next Detroit.
