It is not the responsibility of the Valencia County Treasurer’s Office to set up tax sales for property taxes that are delinquent. Once a property is delinquent 3 years, it will be reported to the State of New Mexico, Delinquent Property Tax Division, at which point they will start working the account for collection or tax sale. 

We have approximately 30,000 bills returned to our office for various reasons, i.e. wrong address, moved-no forwarding address, forwarding notice expired, deceased, etc. If you haven’t received your bill and need to correct your address, please fill out an Address Change Request form from the Valencia County Assessor's Office. Your change will reflect on the next billing cycle.
