County Clerk Andrea Rodriguez said that registration fees become delinquent July 31st, so business owners who have not renewed their business registration or applied for a new business registration must do so this month in order to avoid penalties.
Luna County Ordinance #5 provides for a penalty of $25 a month and/or a 90-day jail sentence and/or a $300 fine for each violation.
Persons engaged solely in farming and ranching or whose annual gross sales do not exceed $500 are exempt from the ordinance.
