Property in Bernalillo County is assessed at market value. New Mexico law sets taxable value at one-third of that assessed value. Property taxes are calculated by applying the combined tax rate for the applicable tax district to the taxable value.
Examples
If a property has an assessed market value, taxable value is calculated as one-third of that amount. The estimated tax is then determined by multiplying taxable value by the combined property tax rate for the property’s tax district.
Limitations and important notes
