New Mexico Statutes Chapter 7. Taxation § 7-38-44. Special procedures for administration of taxes on personal property when probable removal of property from state will jeopardize collection of taxes

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. If the director or a county assessor has reasonable cause to believe that personal property, other than livestock, subject to valuation by him for property taxation purposes in a tax year will be removed from the state or the county, respectively, before the taxes for that year are due and that the removal of the property will jeopardize the collection of the tax, he may, for property subject to valuation by him:

(1) proceed immediately to determine the value of the property and send a notice of valuation to the property owner;

(2) at any time after sending the notice of valuation proceed to determine the taxes due on the property by using the prior year's tax rates if the current year's tax rates have not been set and prepare and mail or deliver a property tax bill to the property owner and proceed to collect the taxes immediately; and

(3) issue a demand warrant and proceed to collect unpaid taxes as delinquent taxes under the provisions of Sections 7-38-53 through 7-38-59 NMSA 1978 if taxes are not paid upon demand.

B. Payment of taxes determined on the basis of the prior year's tax rates under this section constitutes full payment of the taxes on the property involved for the current tax year.
