Deming, New Mexico has adopted: Statewide minimum construction standards for New Mexico are set and enforced by the Construction Industries Division (CID) of the NM Regulation and Licensing Department. In municipalities and counties without their own full-service building department employing a full-time certified building official (an 'authority having jurisdiction' per N.M. Admin. Code 14.5.1.7), CID itself is the direct permitting, plan-review, and inspection authority. The City of Deming's own General Building Application — posted by the City at cityofdeming.org — is itself the State of New Mexico CID 'Multi Purpose State Building Application,' confirming permits within Deming city limits are issued directly by CID's Las Cruces field office, not by a City of Deming building department.
