IF YOU GET A POSTCARD IN THE MAIL WITH THE WORDS “PROPERTY NOTIFICATION” PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED, DISREGARD IT. THAT’S THE ADVICE FROM BERNALILLO COUNTY TREASURER NANCY BEARCE. SHE SAYS HER OFFICE HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL REPORTS OF PROPERTY OWNERS GETTING THE NOTICE. SHE SAYS IT APPEARS TO BE A SCAM. THE POSTCARD INSTRUCTS THE OWNER TO CALL A PHONE NUMBER TO DISCUSS A “POTENTIAL TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP.” BEARCE SAYS PROPERTY OWNERS IN BERNALILLO COUNTY WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TAXES ARE ENCOURAGED TO CALL HER OFFICE FOR INFORMATION.
