In New Mexico, a Contract for Deed (also called a real estate contract, installment land contract, or owner-financing agreement) is a useful tool for property transactions where the buyer cannot or does not want to obtain conventional financing, and the seller agrees to finance the purchase over time. However, due to the risk to buyers, especially in low-income and rural areas, New Mexico has adopted specific legal protections—especially under SB 449 (2023), codified in NMSA 1978, Chapter 47, Article 13.
When a Contract for Deed Is Useful in New Mexico
-Buyer lacks access to traditional mortgage financing.
-Useful for buyers with poor credit or limited income.
-Sellers can attract more buyers by offering seller financing.
-Seller wants to retain legal title until full payment.
-Protects seller if buyer defaults.
-Legal title remains with the seller until the full contract amount is paid.
-Installment payments are agreeable to both parties.
-Can include structured payments over years.
Interest and terms are flexible between parties.
-Rural or undeveloped property.
-Banks may not lend on raw land or mobile homes without permanent foundation.
Why the Law Requires Certain Disclosures Before Accepting an Offer
Under New Mexico’s Real Estate Contract Act (SB 449, 2023), sellers must protect buyers from unexpected tax and condition issues, especially in installment contracts. Two required disclosures are:
1. Estimated Property Tax Levy (NMSA 1978, § 47-13-4)
“Prior to accepting an offer to purchase,” the seller or seller's broker shall: (1) request from the county assessor the estimated amount of property tax levy with respect to the property and shall specify the listed price as the value of the property to be used in the estimate.”
Purpose:
Protects buyers from sudden property tax increases after purchase.
Ensures buyers understand the future property tax liability based on the full sale price (not past assessments).
Prevents tax-related defaults that could lead to foreclosure.
2. Adverse Material Facts Disclosure Statement Under general real estate disclosure duties (aligned with NMREC rules and principles of good faith), sellers must disclose any known adverse material facts about the property.
What are “adverse material facts”?
Issues that significantly affect value or use of the property:
Structural damage
Unpermitted additions
Water damage or mold
Title problems or pending legal issues
Environmental hazards
Zoning violations
Easements or encroachments
Purpose:
-Prevents buyer deception or later claims of fraud or nondisclosure.
-Builds trust and compliance with NM real estate law.
-Required even more so when the seller is financing the transaction (i.e., they are acting almost like a lender).
Summary: Why These Steps Matter
Requirement Purpose ------------------------------Why It Matters
-Tax Levy Estimate-----To disclose expected annual tax cost based on sale price Protects buyers from unforeseen, unaffordable tax hikes
-Adverse Material Facts Disclosure----To inform the buyer of known serious defects/issues Prevents lawsuits for fraud, ensures buyer is fully informed.
Recording of the Contract (within 30 days) Required by SB 449-----Makes the buyer’s interest official and enforceable
Common Contract for Deed procedures.
Before accepting an offer, request the tax estimate from the county assessor (most counties have a form or online system). Unless buyer agree to waiver, see waiver form included.
-Fill out and provide the Adverse Material Facts Disclosure Statement (a form used in NM real estate practice).
-Draft the Contract for Deed with clear terms.
-Record the contract with the County Clerk within 30 days of execution.

I was very pleased to find ONLINE, Deed Revision Document(s) and their explanation. I ordered these document Forms, downloaded them and Printed them. Now, I will be able to fill them out in the privacy of my home. Instructions were also included, how to file this new Deed, after I complete it and have it Notarized. This has saved me time and emotional stress following the death of my husband. THANK YOU.

The beneficiary deed was acceptable to the county clerk and my notarized official deed was mailed to me. The Missouri-based deed met with official approval so all is well in the land that time forgot.
Thank you!

My legal description exceeds the avaiable space in the one page Exhibit A...any way to add a second page as 'Exhibit A (continued)'?
It is not required to use the included exhibit page. Simply label your printed legal description as the appropriate exhibit.

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW. I AM SO GLAD THAT SOMEONE THOUGHT OF THIS OPROCESS FOR NON-TITLE COMPANIES, SMALL COMPANIES, ETC. I REALLY APPRECIATED THE SERVICE WHEN I RECORDED MY FIRST SET OF DOCS HERE. THEY WERE A MESS AND I HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS. AGAIN THANK YOU!

The deed itself was easy. I did notice that although the website says that the deed would exempt the house from probate, the deed clearly states that it might not. I hope that "might " is the operative word here.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Poor communication. Confusing charges. (Waiting for explanation) overall, not thrilled and at this point would not recommend.
Sorry to hear of your confusion. We've gone ahead and canceled your order. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
