For rentals of fewer than 30 nights, the Village requires a Short-Term Rental Permit, a New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax number and Village business registration. A separate Short-Term Rental Permit is required for each rental property. The permit also has an annual fee based on the number of bathrooms and requires a fire inspection.
