Implementation of Annual Card Fee on July 1st.

The Taos Town Council has approved a budget that implements an annual fee for out-of-town cardholders starting July 1, 2013.

 On July 1^st all card holders will be required to verify residency. Acceptable documentation will be tax documents that give a physical address, lease or rental paperwork that give a physical address, or a utility bill that gives a physical address. The names on the documents need to match a governmental photo ID.

 The $10 annual card fee will apply to everybody 19 years of age or older who does not reside within town limits.

Those individuals who are not prepared to pay the $10 fee when at time of check out, will have a one time opportunity to check two items out. They will need to pay the card fee the next time they come in.
