Tips
- Deming's own Municipal Code 11-1-3.B adopts CID's per-fixture fee schedule by reference, so the local ordinance and the state fee page largely match — but where they diverge (e.g., reinspection fee), the current CID Fees page reflects CID's actual current practice.
- A typical water heater replacement is billed at $4.00 (water heater) plus the $37.50 administrative inspection fee.
