Property taxes are on every homeowner's mind today. Will they go UP in when the market is going down? How are property taxes calculated? Are there any tax payer exemptions? Santa Fe County has taken the lead this year in providing an informative set of tips on the Santa Fe County Tax Assessor's web site. Why? Every year Santa Fe County re-appraises property values and mails to every property owner a "Notice of Value."  These are typically sent in April. The Santa Fe County Tax Assessor mailed out their notices on April 15, 2011. The good news is this is NOT a tax bill. The rest of the story is this notice gives the homeowner ONLY 30 days from April 15, 2011 to file a petition of protest with the Santa Fe County tax assessor. Frankly, there is no time to waste or file away the notice for a rainy day.

If you disagree with your property valuation or did not get one, visit the Santa Fe County Tax Assessor Website for a protest form or contact the County Tax Assessor at 505-986-6300 during business hours Monday - Friday. For a full list of forms and list of exemptions, go to the Assessor Website by clicking here. Remember, there is a deadline. If you act today, you may be able to save money in the future.

Joshua, I hope folks take advantage of the opportunity. It is possible to have a valuation freeze if you are 65 and older and meet the County's other requirements. Like everything in life, people have to act.
