The parcel, a portion of one of two courses at the property, was sold last fall to Discount Land Exchange for $33,000, about 29% of the $114,200 owed in delinquent taxes by the club’s owner. One of the two remaining unsold lots contains the clubhouse, where a bar is still in operation, and has accrued $297,606 in delinquent taxes, penalties and interest.
Santa Teresa (N.M.) CC Fails to Sell at Auction
A public auction that attempted to recoup $672,000 in unpaid taxes did not result in the sale of the property, and another auction is planned for October. A resident bid $20,000 for the property’s two golf courses, clubhouse and affiliated buildings, but state taxation officials rejected it, saying the combined value of the delinquent taxes was the required minimum bid.
