Organ Mountain News report

LAS CRUCES - The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department will hold a delinquent property tax auction for Doña Ana County at 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 15, at 845 N Motel Blvd. in Las Cruces.

The auction will allow members of the public to submit bids on properties with taxes delinquent for at least four years. The state notifies property owners about the amounts due and the scheduled sale of their property. When the state cannot collect the delinquent taxes, it moves forward with auctioning the parcels.

Bidders must register in person beginning at 8 a.m. on the day of the auction. Registration will close promptly at the start of the auction and only registered bidders may participate.

Successful bidders must pay in full before the auction concludes. Acceptable forms of payment include money order, certified check, cashier’s check or a personal or business check accompanied by a bank letter of credit guaranteeing payment for at least the amount bid.

More information about auction terms and frequently asked questions is available at tax.newmexico.gov under Business, then Property Tax. Questions may also be directed to 505-827-0883.
