As May 10 approaches, Bernalillo County residents are reminded of the impending deadline for the payment of their property taxes, marking the second half of the fiscal year. Failure to meet this deadline may result in penalties and accrued interest, cautioned county officials.

Meeting Obligations

Bernalillo County emphasizes that all payments, whether submitted by mail or online, must be postmarked no later than May 10 and directed to the county Treasurer’s office. Delinquency in payment beyond this date will incur additional charges, compounding the amount owed in property tax.

Convenient Payment Options

Residents are provided with several avenues for fulfilling their property tax obligations. Online payments are facilitated through the county treasurer’s payment portal, offering a convenient digital platform for timely transactions. Alternatively, payments can be sent via mail to the Treasurer’s Office at Bernalillo County Treasurer, PO Box 27800, Albuquerque, NM, 87125. For those preferring in-person transactions, the Treasurer’s Office, situated at Alvarado Square in downtown Albuquerque, is available for assistance.

Accessible Drop Box Locations

To further streamline the payment process, turquoise painted drop boxes have been strategically placed across the county, offering accessible points for taxpayers to submit their payments. These drop box locations include:

• Albuquerque City Hall (SE corner)
• Paradise Hills Community Center
• Raymond G. Sanchez Community Center
• Westside Community Center
• Village of Tijeras Office (East side of parking lot)

Ensuring Timely Payments

In order to expedite the processing of payments and ensure accurate record-keeping, residents are reminded to include their parcel number and address on any checks or money orders submitted.
