Residential Appraisal
Residential Appraisal
This division of the Assessor’s Office is responsible for developing and determining fair and equitable assessments for residential real property. This includes residential condos, single family residential homes, and residential vacant land. We determine the valuation for the majority of the county’s 85,000 properties, including those in the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico’s capital city.
We are the face of the Assessor’s office when visiting properties to verify measurements, assess property use, and review changes for residential properties in Santa Fe County.
Our responsibilities and duties include:
- Reviewing protested values and working with property owners and agents to determine a fair market value.
- Receiving and reviewing applications for a Special Method of Value on properties utilized for agricultural purposes.
- Entering approved agricultural applications into our office’s Ascend and ProVal programs, value is determined by field reviews and the guidelines set by the statutes and regulations of the State of New Mexico.
- Maintaining all Livestock parcels base on submitted Declarations or Disposals. There are currently 544 Livestock Parcels.
- Maintaining property records through a CAMA (Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal) system that helps determine value of property based on amenities of every home, condo and vacant parcel.
- Addressing public concerns and answering questions pertaining to property tax law and are making a greater effort to work with the public so that we may achieve the best possible data for our records.
