EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Doña Ana County's Assessor's Office will be mailing property notices of value on May 1 this year due to pending state legislation that affects veterans and their property tax, the County said in a news release. According to the County, the legislation that affects prope rty tax exemptions for veterans has caused the notices to be mailed a month later to all property owners.
