What is the protest process?
A. To start the protest process in the County, you should: timely fill out the protest form that is available at the County Assessor’s office at 102 Grant Ave., Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87504 or download the protest form now. Make sure you fill out the form completely or it will be returned to you. Be sure to include the amount you believe your property is worth and be ready to defend that value with evidence such as comparable sales. Mail in the form or bring it to the Assessor’s Office in person. Later prior to the informal conference you must submit a copy of your evidence, if the dispute can not be resolved a formal hearing with the Valuation Protest Board will be set. If the dispute is still not resolved to your satisfaction at the Board hearing, you may make an official appeal to Santa Fe District Court.
