Bernalillo Court Expected to Rule on 10 Percent Tax Cap
A Bernalillo District Court judge appears poised to finalize a ruling striking down the 10 percent annual property value increase cap. The decision centers on 1,100 county residents seeking tax refunds after reappraisals, with the judge ordering rolls at 100 percent market value but noting no tax relief unless mill rates are lowered. The case signals potential statewide policy impact and prompts calls for legislative fixes in 1979.
