Resolution rescinds Sandoval flood tax in Rio Rancho
The Sandoval County Commission approved a resolution September 7 to rescind the 1.5 mill flood tax levied on Rio Rancho residents for the Los Montoyas flood control project. The action follows a February 6 agreement with Rio Rancho and local districts to end the tax once the city created its own flood authority, though questions remain about the agreement’s legality and what constitutes creation of the authority.
