Closing Date Prorations in New Mexico

In New Mexico, closing date prorations for property taxes are governed by the statutory rule that the seller is responsible for taxes up to the day of closing. The controlling authority is N.M. Stat. § 7-38-38, which establishes a 0% tax rate for the calculation of the seller’s share for the closing year when the property is transferred. This means the seller owes no prorated property tax to the buyer for the year of sale under this specific statute. The official source from the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department provides the exact detail on how this rule applies. The calculator below uses this verified figure to estimate prorations for any given closing date.
