Doña Ana County says veterans' property tax exemption will increase to $10,000; notices mailed May 1
Summary
County officials said veterans who previously received a $4,000 property tax exemption will receive $10,000; the change will appear on valuation notices mailed May 1 after a state finalization delayed the mailing.
Doña Ana County officials said veterans who had been receiving a $4,000 property tax exemption will receive a $10,000 exemption this year, and the change will be reflected on the notice of valuation mailed May 1.
The county assessor's office told the Board of County Commissioners that the mailing of valuation notices was delayed while the county awaited the final exemption amount from the state. The assessor's office said the new $10,000 exemption will be applied to qualifying veterans on the May 1 notices.
The update was delivered during the commissioners' March 25 meeting recap presented by Anita Skipper, the county's chief public information officer. The presentation did not include a vote on the matter at the meeting; the office described the information as an update to the commission and the public.
County staff did not specify the number of veterans who will qualify, any changes to eligibility criteria, or the fiscal impact to the county's tax roll during the recap. The transcript indicates the increase replaces the previously applied $4,000 exemption and that the county waited for a state determination before mailing notices.
The county encouraged residents to consult the official notice of valuation mailed on May 1 for details and to contact the assessor's office with questions.
