The statewide portion of the Gross Receipts Tax (GRT), the taxes that businesses pay on the goods they sell, dropped to 4.875% effective July 1, 2023, resulting in changes to the overall rates across New Mexico. The rate drop is the result of legislation enacted in 2022 to benefit businesses and shoppers across New Mexico.

The New Mexico Tourism Department (NMTD) has awarded $45,435 to the Village of Ruidoso through the New Mexico Clean and Beautiful Grant Program for fiscal year 2023. Through this program, Ruidoso will use the funds to enhance public spaces and support local wildlife and ecosystems, among other projects.

The Internal Finance committee (IFC) will be meeting on Friday, Aug 27, 2021, at 1:00 pm to consider funding requests from outside agencies. The IFC will then make a recommendation to the Village Council at their next regular meeting. Please download and return a request form and submit it by email to finance@ruidoso-nm.gov by Tuesday, August 24 at 4:00 pm to be considered for funding for FY2022.
