Socorro County is dedicated to serving the public as efficiently as possible. Our governing body is the Board of County Commissioners.
Socorro County was established by the Territorial Legislature of New Mexico in 1852 with the City of Socorro as the county seat. At the time of the County’s founding, it stretched all the way from Texas to California. Subsequently, many counties have been carved out of Socorro County giving the County it’s current boundaries.
Socorro County is dedicated to serving the public in a fair, honest, efficient and cost-effective manner. Though we are a government with several elected offices and agencies, we are committed to working as a team to get things done for our constituents and employees. Our organization is also committed to transparency and access to services. Lastly, we are focused on fulfilling our duties as professionals.
