Assessor Damian Lara said he has "important news for New Mexico's veterans," announcing that "Property tax exemptions for vets are changing" and directing listeners to "burncoat.gov/assessor" for more information. The short recorded message concluded with "And thank you for your service."
The announcement did not specify what changes are being made, when they take effect, or which veterans or property types are affected. The assessor's statement consisted of a brief public-service style notice; no supporting details, documents, or vote were presented in the recording.
Because no specifics were provided in the announcement, veterans seeking clarification were directed to the web address Lara cited. The Bernalillo County Assessor's Office can be contacted through the office website for confirmation of eligibility rules, effective dates, and application procedures.
