County Wide Re-Appraisal

Rio Arriba County Assessor's office staff is in the process of conducting a mass re-appraisal county wide. If you see them on your property that is why they are there. Updating new value is beneficial to all the Rio Arriba county tax payers because tax dollars collected go to your schools and county hospital; more new value means the tax levies go down; in most cases unless new bonds have been passed for that tax year.
