Market Overview
This profile covers the Angel Fire and Taos STR market in northern New Mexico, with data through September 2026. Angel Fire and Taos sit close together on the Enchanted Circle, and short-term rental performance is tracked at this shared regional level, so every performance figure below describes the Angel Fire and Taos STR market rather than Angel Fire alone. In September 2026 the average daily rate was $245, occupancy was 46.4%, and average monthly revenue per listing was $3,132. Entire-home listings averaged $249 per night. Compared with September 2025, occupancy rose 8.3%, ADR rose 4.2%, and revenue rose 1.7%. Over a longer view, the region’s annual occupancy peaked at 56.4% in 2021 and stands at 46.7% across the first nine months of 2026, while annual ADR climbed from $233 in 2021 to $277 in 2026 so far. Average monthly revenue was $3,607 in 2025 and $3,599 for 2026 through September, which puts the market on a flat revenue footing with higher rates offsetting fewer booked nights. Summing the twelve seasonal months gives annualized revenue of $36,664 per listing. Angel Fire itself has 1,159 residents, but demand is driven by visitors. Angel Fire Resort reports more than 150,000 annual ski visits across 560 acres, and in summer the bike park, an 18-hole resort golf course, and fishing draw guests. Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park adds 45,000+ visitors a year. Guests come mostly from Texas, Oklahoma, and other southwestern states, and about 99% are domestic travelers. Roughly 1,600 seasonal residents outnumber the year-round population, and local lodging can host 5,000+ tourists on a given night. Bedroom, booking channel, and listing-type counts and top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Angel Fire, so this profile omits them.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Angel Fire, but a permit is required. The Village of Angel Fire requires a Short-Term Rental Permit for all stays under 30 nights, established by Resolution 2024-76 in December 2024. Permits renew annually, with fees based on bathrooms: $75 per full bathroom and $40 per half-bath, so a 2.5-bath home pays $190 per year. Operators also need a New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax number and a Village Business License, which is waived when a licensed property management company with its own Village license is used. No owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement applies, so non-owner investment properties are allowed. STRs are allowed in most of the village, including residential, resort, condominium, and commercial or mixed-use zones. HOA approval is required for condo complexes, and properties in the Angel Fire Resort area may need extra approval from the Environmental Architectural Control Committee. Street parking is prohibited, so operators must provide on-site parking or approved off-site directions. Guest occupancy is capped at 5 per full bathroom plus 2 per half-bath, and a fire safety self-inspection form must be filed annually with the Angel Fire Fire Department. Taxes include a 5% Village Lodger’s Tax and a 2.4% Sports and Recreation Fee, together 7.4%, plus 7.5208% New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax, about 14.92% all-in, applied to all gross charges including cleaning and pet fees. Monthly Lodger’s Tax reports are due by the 25th of the following month, even with zero revenue. Enforcement is rated moderate, and violations can bring warnings, fines, suspension, or revocation. Ordinance 2025-13 in August 2025 amended the permit section, so confirm current rules with the Village at [email protected] or 575-377-6555.
Market Comparison
The Angel Fire and Taos STR market runs in a distinctive shape, earning on rate more than volume. September 2026 occupancy was 46.4% against a $245 ADR. Entire homes at $249 and professionally managed listings at $291 extend that rate premium, and luxury listings reach $405. Peak months look stronger. July occupancy of 63.4% and December ADR of $304 stand well above the September figures, while April at 27.5% occupancy falls far below. Year-over-year momentum is positive, with occupancy up 8.3% and ADR up 4.2%. Investors drawn here are buying into resort-driven mountain demand with a pronounced seasonal pattern, not a steady year-round market. Top operator names are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Angel Fire, so this profile omits them.
