Overview
Bernalillo County is the local government of New Mexico's most populous county, based in Albuquerque, governed by an elected Commission and independently elected officials. It provides property assessment and tax collection, elections and public records, law enforcement, jail operations, planning and zoning, and animal care. What sets Bernalillo County apart is its separately elected Assessor, Clerk, Sheriff, Treasurer, and Probate Judge alongside the Commission. The goal is to deliver transparent services and safety-net support to residents.
