Finally!
We did fine back then and that's the reason why I wonder where has all this money been going over the last decade or so. Haven't seen much changes.
But prices of everything has increased over the years. Will it go back down?

The funny thing is when we as a country finally decided to confront the last major oil crash,this place achieved wonders.We actually became the light manufacturing kings of the region and proved ourselves to be extremely competitive.
Maybe this is what is required to get us back on track.

We also had to do without apples and grapes and nike and levi's. Swag will not allow this in 2014.

Look in the Government achievements chead for the last 4 years to seek your answer.

That would have been based on normal things like location, access to schools. Proximity to things like pricemart, malls, cities, bush, dumps, drugs zones, etc.
These things are external to your property and u have no control of them after u had acquired your property.
It is very inconsiderate to tax me more because other places developed, when my income had not grown proportionally.
Then there are the internal things to your property that you DO have control over. Number of bathrooms, bedrooms, televisions, cable, water tanks, cars, if your have AC , number of floors, if u tiled off, what kind of tiles, burglar proof, camera system... If your house concrete or wood or galvanize.
It doesn't matter if u work for a large salary, u won the lotto, you inherit it from a dead uncle, you save up from ever with your measley salary, everybody put up over the years and made life comfortable.
The valuator takes what your property consists of to decide your tax. It doesn't matter how it got there. Meagre properties would be deemed less of a rentable value and get less.
(mind you, government did not put a cent towards your property, yet tax u for making it comfortable)
The biggest kicker I got was after all the calculations, a valuator still has to asign a dollar value based on his 'judgement' .
All the calculating would have just been a rouse and depending on the mood of the valuator on the day, at the time, would be your tax.
Not to mention, if if somebody don't like you and able to 'influence' the man. Or other people able to 'influence'him when is time to do theirs.
The COP fought hard to get the point out that the property tax, as PNM intended, was unfair.
But all this was covered in the property tax thread already.
...unless it lost the battle with autoprune
I am not against the property tax. I am against the PNM version of it where it is determined subjectively by a person, and taxes what is there on the land,neverminding how much struggle and ban-belly it took to get there.
It made assumption that people who had nice things came upon that easily. And it greedily asserts that if u live close to a developed area that u should pay more.
As I had stated before, property tax should have a value determined by two factors . The classification of your property I.e. If it is residential, comercial, industrial , or agricultural.
The other factor is the area occupied.
(a man who working hard everyday and saving to make his abode comfortable should not have to pay more tax than a man who fetes and squanders his money and lives modestly, when they both have the same income.)

I understand what you are saying, but here on tuner Habit7 and Rasc think otherwise. To habit7 he believes pp are hoarding their properties and that way ppl can't afford to buy, so government must tax them to keep prices down. What a silly PNM logic once again.
This tax was aimed at the well todo and mostly indians. It is a racist tax.
The public needs to understand what this unjustified PNM tax means , they have already stated it will be back under their 2030 vision.
I suspect PNM will not mention this in their upcoming campaign, but the properties owners know otherwise.
This tax will once again sink them.
The PP needs to make every effort to get the public to understand that PNM Will be bringing this tax back.

This would be one of the few times that PNM wound be getting back into office with a declined economy that not gonna be able to boost back up.

PNM has more stalwarts. Unc has proportionally moody voters. The votes that swung it away from PNM last general election rounds, are disenchanted.
That is enough to give PNM the edge come next general.
Th coalition gimmick got us to try something new. But we see is the same khaki pants, so we not doing it again.
Me, if I not defacing my ballot, I might give NCT a chance
