EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Doña Ana County’s Assessor’s Office will be mailing property notices of value on May 1 this year due to pending state legislation that affects veterans and their property tax, the County said in a news release.
According to the County, the legislation that affects property tax exemptions for veterans has caused the notices to be mailed a month later to all property owners.
Throughout the state, county assessors are generally required to mail the notices out around April 1, Doña Ana County said.
The deadline to protest is June 2, and protests and other types of reporting will not be accepted after the date, according to Doña Ana County.
“The New Mexico property tax code enables residents to dispute their valuation notice or update their status to qualify for head of household, veteran’s, charitable or educational exemptions,” the County said.
According to the County, property owners with questions about the protest or status change process can contact the County Assessor’s Office during regular business hours at the Government Center, located at 845 N. Motel Blvd. in Las Cruces.
Residents outside of the Las Cruces area can visit the following off-site locations to speak to staff members:
