In an effort to track gross receipts tax from real estate transactions in their jurisdictions, both Los Ranchos and Corrales have city ordinances that require permits for real estate listings.

Permit compliance is tracked by riders on your “For Sale” sign. If you don’t have a permit or sign rider, you could be fined and your sign may be removed. When listing a house in either of these villages, make sure you receive your permit prior to activating your listing and posting your signage.

Village of Los Ranchos

Per Los Ranchos' Codified Ordinances, Chapter 9, Article 3, all “Realtors” intending to sell a property in the Village are required to apply for a permit for each property. The fee is $35 and the permit must be posted on the bottom right hand corner of the “For Sale” sign. If there is no “For Sale” sign, the permit must be displayed prominently on the building/property.
