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.

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.
