course for all state government employees annually that compliments the Governor’s Code of

TAXATION & REVENUE DEPARTMENT
The Taxation and Revenue Department is the principal revenue collecting agency for the state
of New Mexico. The department administers tax programs that provide the major sources of
State General Fund revenues and contribute a large share to the State Road Fund. It collects and
distributes to county and municipal governments their major state-shared taxes, and it provides
valuations for major industrial properties subject to property taxes. Also, the department collects
royalties from mineral production on state land, which are credited to the Permanent Fund, and
administers various income tax credit and rebate measures.
The department also collects directly or through its agents revenues from issuing motor vehicle
registrations, driver licenses and other motor-vehicle related permits.
