The Map Overlays found in the FlexMLS Map section are useful ways to quickly look up the APS School District, MLS Area, Zone Atlas, Gross Receipts Tax Boundary, Zoning Codes, and more. Some of these Map Overlays will auto-populate listing information on a new listing and save time on listing input.    

During a routine audit of these map overlay shapes, SWMLS identified a few errors with the existing APS School Boundaries.      As of May 28, 2019 the APS School Boundaries have been updated.

SWMLS is working to update the Albuquerque School boundaries in the FlexMLS map overlays in the next few weeks and will temporarily disable the auto-populate/geocoding feature on listings for the Albuquerque School districts. It is recommended that you check your existing listings to ensure they contain accurate school information. During this temporary period, you may need to go directly to the APS website to search the attendance area for that address.  The Albuquerque School boundaries will still remain in the FlexMLS map section and an announcement will be made to all SWMLS members when they are fixed and can be considered 100% accurate again.     

SWMLS has put together a list of all the existing  Albuquerque school districts in the Flex overlays that will be revised. Please note that only the Albuquerque Schools have an available map overlay and is not available for other school districts. Rio Rancho School overlays are in the process of being added later in 2019.
