Open New Mexico TRD delinquent-property-tax auctions
This guide is limited to State Property Tax Division delinquent-property-auction excess under NMAC 3.6.7.80, followed after two years by Unclaimed Property Unit custody; no public initial Property Tax Division refund form was verified.
Sale type and custodian control
Different statutes, counties, courts, notices, and custody transitions are not interchangeable.
TRD's Property Tax Division conducts the retained delinquent-real-property auction lane; the county treasurer is not substituted as the initial excess custodian.

The Department mails former owners of record notice of the right to claim excess and evaluates a completed refund application with ownership documentation.
After the initial two-year custody period and transfer, the Unclaimed Property Unit's official claim process requires proof appropriate to the listed property.
Record-first workflow
Verify the live official record at every step; this orientation does not decide a claimant's rights.
Match the assessed owner and ownership search used before auction, preserve the mailed notice, and request the current initial refund application directly from the Department.
The retained rule requires a competent-court order before competing claimants are paid and for claims established by lien, mortgage, or judgment.
After two years from sale, unclaimed excess transfers under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act; that transition is not stated as an extinction of the claim.
Use the Unclaimed Property account and proof instructions only after confirming that the specific excess record has transferred.
No unsupported form or deadline
Use only dates and filing mechanics tied to the confirmed sale type, statute, custodian, and retained source.
Collect the county, parcel, auction notice, sale date, bidder and deed records, and Property Tax Division contact.
Collect the former-owner record, mailed notice, Department application, ownership documents, competing claims, and any required court order.
After confirmed transfer, preserve the unclaimed-property match, claimant status, required identity and authority records, submission, and claim number.

Answers remain inside the retained scope
The Department mails former owners of record notice of their right to claim a refund of excess funds.
The Department waits for an order from a court of competent jurisdiction identifying the entitled claimant.
Unclaimed excess is deposited under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act and later claims go to the Unclaimed Property Unit.
Not without confirming transfer. The initial Property Tax Division refund stage remains separate.
