Tips
- CID's electrical fee table is a flat statewide schedule by amperage — it applies uniformly to Deming since CID issues the permit directly.
- Homeowners wanting to pull their own electrical permit must pass a CID exam (75% minimum) for their own primary residence.
- The City of Deming's own local general permit fee (11-1-3.A) is a building-permit fee; it does not appear to duplicate onto stand-alone electrical-only permits, which route through CID's own fee table.
