New Mexico building departments
This New Mexico directory covers 33 Census county equivalents and local building-department guides. New Mexico uses statewide construction codes, while local authorities handle many permit and inspection logistics. Check special flood, wildfire, and regional requirements.
How permitting works in New Mexico
Statewide codes with local administration. A county name is a geographic index, not a promise that the county government issues every building permit. Many projects are handled by a city, town, township, borough, parish, regional office, or independent city.
