History
The Equalization Board was established by a legislative act in 1882 (1882 Laws of N.M., Chp. 62, Sec. 33). In 1893 a legislative act changed the name to Territorial Board of Equalization (1893 Laws of N.M, Chp. 64, Sec. 1). Between 1893 and 1915 the Board was also known as the Board of Equalization. In 1915 a legislative act abolished the Territorial Board of Equalization and established the State Tax Commission (1915 Laws of N.M., Chp. 54, Sec. 1 and 14). In 1970 a legislative act abolished the State Tax Commission and transferred its functions to the newly-established Property Appraisal Department (1970 Laws of N.M., Chp. 31, Sec. 3 and 22). In 1974 a legislative act replaced the Property Appraisal Department with the Property Tax Department (1974 Laws of N.M., Chp. 92, Sec. 152). In 1977 a legislative act abolished the Property Tax Department and transferred its functions to the Property Tax Division of the newly-established Tax and Revenue Department (1977 Laws of N.M., Chp. 249, Sec. 5 and 12). The Property Tax Division is responsible for assessing taxes on all taxable property in New Mexico.
