Taos County approves 2024 property tax rates after assessor briefed commissioners
Summary
Taos County commissioners voted unanimously to approve the county's 2024 property tax rates after a presentation from County Assessor Maria Dimas explaining reappraisal work, local permit-driven adjustments and a Penasco school bond that raised rates in that district.
Chair Romero opened a special Taos County Board of Commission meeting on Sept. 10, 2024 and introduced Maria Dimas, the county assessor, who asked the board to approve the 2024 property tax rates. "We are here before you today to request approval of the 2024 property tax rates," Dimas said during the presentation.
Dimas and assessor staff provided a side-by-side comparison of 2023 and 2024 rates and told commissioners that most districts showed slight increases, with the largest change in the Penasco area tied to a local school bond. Commissioners asked for clarification about apparent decreases in nonresidential value; staff explained the shifts reflected newly identified exempt structures and reclassifications rather than market-value losses.
A motion to approve the property tax rates was made, seconded and called by roll; the clerk recorded unanimous support from the board and the motion passed. The board then adjourned at about 9:17 a.m.
