Sandoval County tables repeal of flood tax over rights of way
The Sandoval County Commission on August 1 tabled a resolution to repeal the 1.5 mill flood tax on Rio Rancho residents citing a stalled agreement. County Flood Commissioner Harvey Jones said discontinuance could jeopardize the Los Montoyas Arraya flood control project, while Rio Rancho officials backed the original February agreement tying repeal to the city establishing its own flood control authority. A compromise had been reached allowing the city to drop litigation in exchange for repealing the tax once the city forms its flood authority. The city later formed its own flood control body in March, prompting the formal repeal move.

Zoning Board Approves Countywide A-1 change near Corrales
Bernalillo County planning commissioners approved amending Agriculture 2 zoning to A-1 across unincorporated areas except around Corrales. A public meeting drew about equal views for and against. The measure aims to streamline approvals in the east mountain area, with over 700 mobile-home permits cited in recent years. Corrales residents may opt to keep A-1 or A-2 designations, potentially enabling one-acre lot subdivisions and higher density near the county line.
