SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House
Bill 670 amends NMSA 1978, § 4-33-17, pertaining to county annexation of
property by resolution.
Currently,
if there are no qualified electors residing within the portion of a county
proposed to be annexed by another county, resolutions shall be passed by the
county commissions of both affected counties approving a transfer of territory
from one county to the other. This bill adds any property that is exempt from
state or local taxation to property that may be annexed via resolution.
Property transfer by this method requires a description of the territory to be transferred and must list the facts permitting such transfer. Aggrieved property owners or qualified electors within annexed properties may file an action in the district court. If no action is filed within ninety days, the transfer of the territory shall take place.
Significant Issues
This bill
affects properties whereby property tax is not levied, including land under
federal control (e.g., Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest
Service), tribal lands, and state lands.
