The Santa Fe County Assessor would like to notify residents that the Data Collection Project is now underway. The project will run for several months and will be conducted in two phases. The purpose of the entire Data Collection Project is simply to verify existing data, correct erroneous data and generate missing data to ensure all information used in appraising property for tax purposes is accurate. Tyler Technologies Inc. is working with the Assessor’s Office on this project.

During phase I residents may notice Assessor’s Office staff or Tyler Technologies staff in their neighborhood taking photographs of homes from the street only. This is to update information such as the condition, depreciation and style of homes. It is important to clarify the photos are taken only from the street and reflect the same view that any individual could see by driving or walking by a residence.

Residents should be aware that anyone working on the data collection project will be working in a white van labeled “Tyler Technologies Inc., Verification Project for Santa Fe County Assessor’s Office” and will have proper identification.

Phase II of the project will begin in approximately one month. This phase involves gathering more information about residential dwellings, other outbuildings, and taking exterior measurements if necessary. County Assessor Domingo Martinez is urging all residents to cooperate with the project staff for exterior access to their property.

“I am hopeful property owners understand the importance of this project. It is imperative that our records are correct. My goal with this project is to ensure fair and equitable assessments for all taxpayers,” said Assessor Martinez.
