COUNTY News:

Property tax bills for 2025 were mailed to property owners Nov. 1 by Los Alamos County’s Finance Division. The deadline for the first half of property taxes is Dec. 10, 2025.

It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure property taxes are paid to avoid late payment penalty and interest charges.

Los Alamos County offers various methods to make it easy for payments to be made before the deadline. 

These methods are as follows:

• In person. Property owners can remit payment by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10 in person at the Customer Care Center located in the lobby of the Municipal Building (1000 Central Ave.), or to a teller at Enterprise Bank & Trust walk-in or drive-thru at 1200 Trinity Drive windows in Los Alamos or 77 Rover Blvd. in White Rock.
• Dropbox. Property owners can drop a check or money order sealed in an envelope, in one of the two drop boxes conveniently located in the parking lot and lobby of the Municipal Building at 1000 Central Ave. Customer Care staff collects drop box payments each business day. To avoid penalties payments must be in the drop box by midnight, Wednesday, Dec. 10.
• Mail. Payments can be mailed to Los Alamos County, P.O. Box 99, Los Alamos, NM 87544-0099, but must be postmarked by midnight, Wednesday, Dec. 10.
• Online. The County Finance Division accepts tax payments online https://eNoticesOnline.com. Payments will need to be made by 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10 to meet the processing deadline. Property owners will need the County Authorization Code available on the tax bill mailed on Nov. 1, 2025, to create an account. Instructions are available on the Customer Care website at https://ladpu.com/CCC under the Property Tax Payments tab.  

If someone else is to pay on behalf of the property owner, they will need to contact the owner directly regarding this matter. If a property owner’s property taxes are collected through an escrow account, they should verify with the appropriate organization or person to ensure that the payment is made in a timely manner.
