Overview

All property that is part of a communications system and is subject to valuation for property taxation purpose including Cable TV Providers, shall be valued in accordance with the provisions of section 7-36-30 NMSA 1978.

The value of property that is part of a telecommunications system is determined according to the special method of valuation as described in Section 7-36-30 NMSA 1978, as updated or renumbered. Telecommunications companies reporting or rendering to the Property Tax Division for the first time must make an election at that time to report under the cost less depreciation method or under the unit method of valuation. The choice once made is effective for at least three consecutive tax years. To change after your first election, a written request must be made to the secretary of the department. The secretary must approve the change. Filing a rendition under one of the two methods is an automatic election.
