Tax Sale Overview:


If Santa Fe county, New Mexico is unable to collect real estate property taxes they are also unable to provide important government services like police protection, public schooling and medical services.

Unpaid property taxes create a serious cashflow problem for Santa Fe county, New Mexico.

Property taxes that are delinquent are added to any previously uncollected taxes on a parcel of Santa Fe county. Parcels whose taxes are subject to sale will be advertised in a Santa Fe county newspaper of general circulation. They are listed by sequence number. Parcels fall into 1 of 2 groups. Each group is sorted by parcel number.

The advertisement appears about three to six weeks before the Santa Fe county tax sale auction and is also posted on the Internet.

To solve this problem Santa Fe county, New Mexico allows investors to pay off these taxes. In exchange the investor receives the Santa Fe county, New Mexico lien for taxes. A tax lien is simply a claim for delinquent taxes.

Why would investors do this?
