Notes

New Mexico delinquent property tax auctions are run by the State Taxation and Revenue Department Property Tax Division (PTD) — not a county lien certificate sale. After multi-year delinquency, the County Treasurer turns properties over to the State and PTD auctions them. Chaves County (Roswell) has hosted PTD auctions at the Chaves County Administrative Center (#1 St. Mary's Pl, Roswell) — e.g. prior June cycle at 10:00 a.m. Confirm next Chaves date on tax.newmexico.gov Delinquent Property Tax Auctions schedule. Minimum bid = taxes + penalty + interest + costs. County Treasurer 575-624-6618 supports research but does not run the deed auction. Roswell / dairy-ag and aerospace market.

Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 64 land-only. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — NMSA 1978, § 7-37-3: taxable value is one third (33⅓%) of the net taxable value of the property. New Mexico applies this uniformly statewide rather than by class or county. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
