Who is responsible for notifying the Santa Fe County Assessor of a transfer of ownership of property?

A. When you record a deed the information goes to the Assessor's Office electronically by 

the end of the day. 

B. New Mexico is a self-assessing state (NMSA 7-38-4) which means that ultimately it is up 

to the property owner to ensure that the Assessor's Office is notified about property transfers (i.e. receives a copy of the deed).
