Utility Availability and Land Listings


The Taos real estate MLS allows the RealtorĀ® to list a lot or land parcel as having electric, telephone, natural gas, etc. as:

  • At lot - line or transformer is at one of the lot lines.
  • Nearby - very open to interpretation, could be across the road or 1/4 mile away.
  • None - utilities far enough away to be an issue, or no easements available to bring them.

The best search to locate land is to not limit it to utilities at the lot. As a matter of caution, when they are on the other side of the road, many agents will use the “nearby” category.
