Bracketed material. — The bracketed material was inserted by the compiler and is not part of the law. Laws 1970, ch. 31, § 3 (repealed by Laws 1974, ch. 92, § 34) transferred the authority, powers and duties of the state tax commission to the property appraisal department, and Laws 1973, ch. 258, § 3, transferred the functions of the property appraisal department to the property tax department. However, Laws 1977, ch. 249, § 5, abolished the property tax department, and Laws 1977, ch. 249, § 4, established the property tax division of the taxation and revenue department. See 7-2-2 and 9-11-4 NMSA 1978.
