County Staff Help Residents Pay Taxes Online

The Bernalillo County Treasurer’s Office will host ten in-person sessions to help residents pay their 2026 property taxes through the online portal. Staff members from the county will be available at various city and county centers to guide taxpayers through the digital process.

Property tax bills are currently arriving in mailboxes across the county. The due date for the first half of the tax year or full payment is November 10. Taxpayers have until December 10 to settle their accounts before penalties and interest begin to accrue.

The outreach events are scheduled for specific dates throughout the next two months. Sessions will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on November 6 at the South Valley Multipurpose Senior Center, November 10 at the Barelas Senior Center, and November 12 at the Los Volcanes Senior Center. Additional sessions are set for November 19 at the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center, November 24 at the Los Vecinos Community Center, and December 1 at the Los Volcanes Senior Center.

The schedule continues in early December. The Treasurer’s Office will return to the Barelas Senior Center on December 3 and the South Valley Multipurpose Senior Center on December 4. The final two sessions will occur on December 8 at the North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center and December 10 at the Los Vecinos Community Center.

Residents should bring their physical tax bill and their preferred payment method to these events. If a homeowner arrives without their bill, staff can help them generate a copy using the new online tax bill feature on-site. Treasury employees will assist with any property tax questions, though the events primarily support individuals responsible for their own payments.

Mortgage holders should confirm with their lenders that taxes are being paid on their behalf, as these bills typically arrive in a bluish-purple envelope rather than green. Online payments incur a service fee based on the method chosen. A debit card costs $3.50, a credit card costs 2.29 percent with a minimum charge of $1.50, and an electronic check costs $0.45.
