New Mexico's individual income tax carries 6 brackets from 1.5% to a top 5.9% rate (above $210,000 single / $315,000 MFJ), applying in Deming as statewide, alongside a Social Security exemption below $100,000 (single) / $150,000 (MFJ) federal AGI -- especially relevant given Deming's above-average retiree population (base record).
Deming's genuinely low property tax rate
Ownwell cites Deming's median effective property tax rate at just 0.71% -- below both the national median (~1.02%) and the New Mexico statewide median (cited at ~0.85% by this same source), with a notably low $151 median annual bill (base record).
New Mexico's real assessment-ratio system
New Mexico's real 33.3% assessment ratio and 3% annual assessed-value growth cap on owner-occupied residences plausibly contribute to Deming's notably low property tax bills relative to national norms (base record).
A real, disclosed gap in Deming-specific insurance data
No Deming-specific homeowners-insurance premium figure was found this pass -- this record discloses New Mexico's statewide context instead: 23.3% of homeowners uninsured, a record ~6,200 non-renewals in 2025, and ~16% average statewide premium increases (base record).
Key takeaways
- New Mexico's top income tax rate is a real, current 5.9% (2026), applying in Deming as statewide.
- Deming's property tax rate (Ownwell's cited 0.71%) runs well below both national and NM statewide medians.
- New Mexico's 33.3% assessment ratio and 3% annual value cap plausibly explain Deming's notably low tax bills.
- No Deming-specific homeowners-insurance premium figure was found this pass -- a real, disclosed gap.
