01

Start with the right county for Rio Chiquito

Which of Rio Arriba County, Santa Fe County appears on the tax bill? Save that county’s parcel number along with the street or map location. A city name by itself is not sufficient for this cross-county place.

03

Check the route, beyond Chimayo

Chimayo is 2.1 miles west of the Rio Chiquito reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?
