New Mexico Theft Laws: $500 Felony Line, Shoplifting and Penalties
Independently fact-checked against primary sources (last audited October 14, 2026). · 13 primary sources cited on this page. How we verify our legal content
In New Mexico, larceny becomes a felony when the property stolen is worth "over five hundred dollars ($500)" (NMSA 30-16-1(D)), so property worth exactly $500 is still a misdemeanor and $501 is a fourth degree felony. Below that line, larceny is a misdemeanor from over $250 to $500 and a petty misdemeanor at $250 or less. Shoplifting is a separate offense under 30-16-20 that uses the same dollar ladder, with aggregation rules added in 2023. For other states, see our guide to theft laws by state.
Information last verified on 2026-10-13. This article has not been reviewed by a licensed lawyer.
Jurisdiction scope: This article covers New Mexico state theft law in Chapter 30 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA): larceny (30-16-1), shoplifting and organized retail crime (30-16-19 to 30-16-23), the other value-graded theft offenses in Article 16 and Article 16D (vehicles), and the sentencing sections 31-18-15, 31-18-15.1, 31-18-17 and 31-19-1. It does not cover federal theft offenses, city or county ordinances, or identity theft and fraud schemes, which have their own pages linked below.
What counts as larceny in New Mexico
New Mexico keeps the traditional name. Under NMSA 30-16-1(A), "Larceny consists of the stealing of anything of value that belongs to another." Related conduct has its own sections in Article 16 rather than being folded into larceny: fraud (30-16-6), embezzlement (30-16-8) and receiving stolen property (30-16-11) are separate offenses, each with its own grading.
New Mexico theft penalties by value
The value tiers come from 30-16-1(B) through (H). Felony sentences come from 31-18-15, which sets a fixed "basic sentence" for each felony degree plus a maximum fine; misdemeanor sentences come from 31-19-1.
| Value of property stolen | Grade | Statutory penalty |
|---|---|---|
| $250 or less | Petty misdemeanor | County jail up to 6 months, a fine up to $500, or both |
| Over $250 but not more than $500 | Misdemeanor | County jail for a definite term less than one year, a fine up to $1,000, or both |
| Over $500 but not more than $2,500; or a firearm worth less than $2,500 | Fourth degree felony | Basic sentence 18 months; fine up to $5,000 |
| Over $2,500 but not more than $20,000; or livestock of any value | Third degree felony | Basic sentence 3 years; fine up to $5,000 |
| Over $20,000 | Second degree felony | Basic sentence 9 years; fine up to $10,000 |
Every felony line uses "over," so a value exactly at $500, $2,500 or $20,000 falls in the lower tier. Two kinds of property are graded without regard to the ladder: under 30-16-1(G), larceny of livestock is "a third degree felony regardless of its value," and under 30-16-1(H), larceny of a firearm is "a fourth degree felony when its value is less than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500)."
Under 31-18-15(B), the basic sentence "shall be imposed" unless the court alters it under the Criminal Sentencing Act, and a period of parole is added separately for prison terms over one year (31-18-15(C)). These are ordinary basic sentences, not ceilings. Two general sections can raise them:
- Aggravating circumstances (31-18-15.1): after a finding by a jury, or by the judge beyond a reasonable doubt, of aggravating circumstances, the judge may alter the basic sentence, but "in no case shall the alteration exceed one-third of the basic sentence."
- Habitual offenders (31-18-17): for a felony conviction, one prior felony conviction increases the basic sentence by one year, two prior felony convictions by four years, and three or more by eight years. A prior counts when "less than ten years have passed prior to the instant felony conviction since the person completed serving his sentence or period of probation or parole for the prior felony, whichever is later."
Shoplifting in New Mexico
Shoplifting has its own statute, NMSA 30-16-20. Under 30-16-20(A), it consists of any of these acts:
- "willfully taking possession of merchandise with the intention of converting it without paying for it";
- "willfully concealing merchandise with the intention of converting it without paying for it";
- "willfully altering a label, price tag or marking upon merchandise with the intention of depriving the retailer of all or some part of the value of it"; or
- "willfully transferring merchandise from the container in or on which it is displayed to another container with the intention of depriving the retailer of all or some part of the value of it."
The grades in 30-16-20(B) match larceny: $250 or less is a petty misdemeanor; more than $250 but not more than $500 a misdemeanor; more than $500 but not more than $2,500 a fourth degree felony; more than $2,500 but not more than $20,000 a third degree felony; and more than $20,000 a second degree felony.
Aggregation of shoplifting charges
The 2023 amendment (Laws 2023, ch. 194, effective June 16, 2023) added aggregation rules:
- Per location: "Charges under this section shall be based on the aggregated retail market value of merchandise shoplifted from a single retailer at a single location" (30-16-20(C)).
- Across stores within 90 days: "When an individual has engaged in shoplifting more than once over a ninety-day period, whether committed at one or more retailers, the prosecution may charge the individual under this section based on either the aggregated retail market value of merchandise shoplifted from a single retailer at a single location or in a single charge based on the aggregated retail market value of merchandise shoplifted" (30-16-20(D)). Venue for an aggregated charge is proper in any county where merchandise was shoplifted.
- Value used: "aggregated retail market value" means "the total combined value of all merchandise involved at the price at which the merchandise would ordinarily be sold by the retailer" (30-16-20(F)).
Conduct charged as shoplifting may also be used for an organized retail crime charge, but under 30-16-20(C) "an individual charged with both a violation of this section and organized retail crime shall not be punished for both offenses."
Aggravated shoplifting
Under 30-16-20(E), "Aggravated shoplifting consists of unlawfully assaulting or striking at another with a deadly weapon immediately after an act of shoplifting in order to retain possession of stolen property or to effect an escape from the scene of an act of shoplifting." It is a third degree felony.
Organized retail crime
NMSA 30-16-20.1, also enacted in 2023, makes organized retail crime a second degree felony. A person commits it by:
- acting "in concert with one or more persons to steal merchandise with an aggregated retail market value of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) or more from one or more retailers over the span of one year with the intent to sell, exchange or return the merchandise for value";
- acting in concert with one or more persons to receive, purchase or possess merchandise with an aggregated retail market value of $2,500 or more over one year, "knowing or believing it to have been stolen";
- acting as an agent of another person or group to steal merchandise worth $2,500 or more over one year "as part of an organized plan to commit theft"; or
- recruiting, coordinating, organizing, supervising, directing, managing or financing another to undertake any of those acts "or any other statute defining theft of merchandise."
Concealment and merchant detention
Under 30-16-22, a person who willfully conceals merchandise on a person or among belongings, or on or outside the store premises, "shall be prima facie presumed to have concealed the merchandise with the intention of converting it without paying for it."
Under 30-16-23, a law enforcement officer, special officer or merchant who "has probable cause for believing that a person has willfully taken possession of any merchandise with the intention of converting it without paying for it, or has willfully concealed merchandise," and that the merchandise can be recovered by detaining the person, may take the person into custody "and detain him in a reasonable manner for a reasonable time." Such a detention "shall not subject the officer or merchant to any criminal or civil liability."
Can a store demand money after shoplifting in New Mexico?
The shoplifting article's civil remedy, NMSA 30-16-21, is limited to adults who have been convicted:
"Any person who has reached the age of majority and who has been convicted of shoplifting under Section 30-16-20 NMSA 1978, may be civilly liable for the retail value of the merchandise, punitive damages of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250), costs of the suit and reasonable attorney's fees. However, the merchant shall not be entitled to recover damages for the retail value of any recovered undamaged merchandise."
The statute sets what a merchant can recover in a civil suit under that section; it does not decide whether a particular demand letter is valid. A lawyer licensed in New Mexico can advise on a specific letter.
Car theft and other theft offenses with their own grades
Article 16 and the neighboring articles of Chapter 30 contain other theft offenses graded on their own terms:
| Offense | NMSA | Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Unlawful taking of a vehicle or motor vehicle; embezzlement, fraudulent obtaining, or receiving or transferring of a stolen vehicle | 30-16D-1 to 30-16D-4; penalties 30-16D-4.1 | Graded by number of offenses, not value: fourth degree felony for a first offense, third degree for a second, second degree for a third or later (effective June 20, 2025) |
| Receiving stolen property | 30-16-11 | Same value ladder as larceny; a firearm worth less than $2,500 is a fourth degree felony |
| Embezzlement | 30-16-8 | Same value ladder, measured "against any one victim in any consecutive twelve-month period" (2025 amendment, effective July 1, 2025) |
| Falsely obtaining services or accommodations (food, lodging, entertainment) | 30-16-16 | Same ladder; less than $250 is a petty misdemeanor |
| Fraudulently obtaining or retaining, or refusing to return, a rented or leased vehicle or other property | 30-16-39; 30-16-40 | Same value ladder |
| Theft of a credit card | 30-16-26 | Fourth degree felony |

| Unlawful removal of effects subject to a hotel, boarding house or rental lien | 30-16-17 | Petty misdemeanor |
| Criminal damage to property by theft or attempted theft of regulated material (copper, brass, aluminum and similar materials) | 30-15-8 | Graded by the damage or loss: less than $1,000 petty misdemeanor; $1,000 to less than $2,500 misdemeanor; $2,500 or more fourth degree felony |
| Exploitation of a care facility resident's property | 30-47-6 | Same value ladder as larceny |
Recent changes
- 2025: Laws 2025, ch. 4 enacted 30-16D-4.1, which counts a prior offense under any of the vehicle theft sections (30-16D-1 to 30-16D-4) toward the second- and third-offense grades, "regardless of which provision was the first offense"; before then, the enhanced grades required prior convictions for the same specific charge (effective June 20, 2025). Laws 2025, ch. 69 amended the embezzlement section so value is measured against any one victim over a consecutive twelve-month period (effective July 1, 2025).
- 2023: Laws 2023, ch. 194 amended the shoplifting section to create aggravated shoplifting and the aggregation rules, and enacted the organized retail crime section (effective June 16, 2023).
- 2006: Laws 2006, ch. 29 raised the larceny lines to their current levels, effective July 1, 2006. Before then, the petty misdemeanor tier ended at $100 and the felony tier started at more than $250.
