Are You Paying Too Much Property Tax On Your Las Cruces Real Estate?
You May Save Up To $162 per year.
Two residential property tax exemptions are available:
1. Family/Head of Household
2. Veteran
Virtually all New Mexico residents will be eligible for the family exemption. You don't have to have a family or dependents to receive this exemption. The family exemption reduces the taxable value of your residential real estate by $2000, a savings of about $57 per year in tax at a tax rate of .028381.
The family exemption can be claimed by visiting the County Assessors Office, 845 N. Motel Blvd, and completing the form.
The veteran's exemption is $4000 and will result in a savings of about $113 per year at a tax rate of .028381.
To determine eligibility and to receive the Veteran's exemption, take all your DD214 forms to the NM Department of Veterans Service, 2024 E. Griggs, 575-524-6220 and they will order your eligibility certificate. Take the certificate to the Assessor's office and you will have the maximum exemption. If you are 100% disabled, call me for details.
You can check to be sure that your exemption(s) have been accurately recorded by the County Assessor's Office by visiting their website at http://www2.co.dona-ana.nm.us/search/realprop.php and entering your address in the search box. Your exemptions will show up underneath your name and address.
Please feel free to call me with any questions: 575-644-5666.
