NM Income Tax Reminder: New Mexico taxes pension, IRA, and 401(k) withdrawals at graduated rates up to 5.9%. Social Security is exempt only if MAGI is under $100,000 (single) or $150,000 (married). This applies to all NM communities including this one. Factor it into your retirement income plan before committing to New Mexico.

NM One-Third Assessment Rule: New Mexico taxes residential property on one-third of appraised value. A $400,000 home is taxed on approximately $133,000 of assessed value. At Sandoval County rates, this produces one of the lower effective property tax rates in the Sun Belt.
