Lincoln County Treasurer Beverly Calaway and her staff mailed out property tax bills for 30,568 parcels Monday.
The mailing represents $31,878,929.34 in property taxes.
Calaway reminded property owners if they do not receive their 2018 tax bills in the mail by Nov. 1, to contact the treasurer's office at 575-648-2397 ext. 7, to check on the status of their tax bill.
A breakdown on what entities receive the tax revenues showed that the state will see $1,764,705; the county, $11,758,013; municipalities, $4,121,778; schools, $9 million; livestock and predator control, $95,676; ENMU-Ruidoso, $1.3 million; hospital and clinics, $3,365,355; and soil and water sanitation districts, $471,840.
