About Santa Fe County

Santa Fe County covers about 1,910 square miles of north-central New Mexico, and its county seat is the city of Santa Fe, the state capital. The 2020 census counted 154,823 residents. Elevation and terrain vary widely, from the Rio Grande corridor and the Galisteo Basin to the Sangre de Cristo foothills east of the city.

Communities and Housing Types

Outside the city of Santa Fe, county communities include Eldorado, Rancho Viejo, Las Campanas, Tesuque, the Pojoaque Valley, La Cienega, Galisteo, Lamy, Madrid and Cerrillos and Glorieta. Property types include planned subdivisions, golf and club communities, historic village homes, ranches, horse properties and raw land. Lot sizes range from in-town lots to parcels of many acres.

Water and Wastewater

Water service depends on location. Some areas connect to Santa Fe County Utilities or a community water system, while many rural homes use a private domestic well permitted by the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer, or a shared well. In the Pojoaque Basin, the Aamodt water rights settlement affects wells. Most rural homes use septic systems permitted by the New Mexico Environment Department. Confirm the water source, any well permit or shared-well agreement, and septic records for every property.

Getting Around and Schools

I-25 crosses the county from the southwest to Glorieta Pass. US 84/285 runs north to the Pojoaque Valley and Espanola and south toward Eldorado and Lamy, and NM 14, the Turquoise Trail, heads south to Madrid and Cerrillos. The New Mexico Rail Runner has stations in Santa Fe and connects to Albuquerque. Several school districts serve the county, including Santa Fe Public Schools and the Pojoaque Valley School District, so confirm the district for any address.

Land Use and Buying Considerations

Unincorporated land is governed by the county's Sustainable Growth Management Plan and Land Development Code, which set zoning, lot size and development rules. For land, confirm recorded legal access, road maintenance, a current survey, utility availability and any covenants. Ask us about recent sales near a specific property. Outside city limits, SFAR reported a Q3 2026 single-family median of $839,900 on 185 sales.
