For Collection purposes concerning Real Property tax, the County Treasurer is the
collector of these property taxes. As with all property taxes in San Juan County,
the FULL AMOUNT OR the FIRST HALF of the property tax is due November 10th and becomes
delinquent if not postmarked or paid by close of business day on December 10th.
If you only pay the first half the SECOND HALF is due April 10th of the following
year and becomes delinquent if not postmarked or paid by close of business day on
May 10th. The only exception is if the amount of tax owed is less than $10.00 in
which case the entire amount is due by November 10th and becomes delinquent if not
paid by close of business day on December 10th.

Should these taxes become delinquent, the County Treasurer will mail a notice to
the owner of the property by June 10. Per State Statute, any Real Property that
is more than two years delinquent at June 30th, will be reported and transferred
to the State of New Mexico Property Tax Division for collection. Once the Real Property
has been reported to the State of New Mexico Property Tax Division and the taxes
due remain unpaid, the property may be sold and a deed issued by the Division. Therefore,
it is very important that you keep your tax payments up to date and mailing address
information up to date as well.
