Notes

New Mexico delinquent property tax auctions are run by the State Taxation and Revenue Department Property Tax Division (not a county lien certificate sale). After ~3 years of delinquency, PTD offers parcels at public auction; San Juan sales are typically held at San Juan County Commission Chambers, 100 S. Oliver Drive, Aztec. 2026 schedule listed San Juan County for Aug 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. (confirm on tax.newmexico.gov). Registration is in-person the morning of sale; cash/certified funds per PTD terms. County Treasurer and Assessor support parcel research but do not run the deed auction.

Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 26 land-only, 21 withdrawn. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.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.
