New Mexico Counties, in partnership with New Mexico Black Leadership Council and Core-Visual, LLC, created an educational video visualizing the role and process of the county assessor and treasurer regarding property taxes. An animated video emerged with information contributed by a select group of county elected leaders to broaden the understanding of the property tax valuation and tax collection process. Property taxes are the underlying foundation of the county's budget that helps provide the essential community services and resources within each of the 33 New Mexico counties. Facebook was the perfect platform to share the video with counties, peers, and friends, expanding the reach on a subject that is all too often misunderstood - property taxes.
