Tips
- New Mexico has no minimum roof-area exemption for reroof permits — CID requires a permit for ALL re-roofs and roof-coating applications statewide, including in Deming.
- If you hire a contractor to do the roofing work rather than doing it yourself, you cannot use a homeowner's permit for that scope — the licensed roofing contractor (GS-21) must pull their own permit.
