Tips

  • This single application covers three distinct scopes — roofing, residing, and windows — selected by checkbox; specify which type of roofing is proposed if that scope is chosen.
  • A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required to schedule any inspection, per the application's own printed instruction.
  • The application cites the same code list as new residential construction (2021 NM Commercial & Residential Building Code, 2021 IRC/IBC, 2021 IECC, 2021 NM Plumbing and Mechanical Code, 2020 NEC/NM Electrical Code) since re-roofing/residing work can trigger electrical or plumbing tie-ins.

Unincorporated San Juan County, New Mexico has adopted: Governance model: San Juan County Building Division self-administers building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical/HVAC permitting directly for the unincorporated county, plus Aztec, Bloomfield and Kirtland by service agreement. It is not a New Mexico Construction Industries Division field-office pass-through for any trade. The County's Building Department page states 'Construction Codes are adopted and amended by the State of New Mexico Construction Industries Division', meaning the substantive code editions track the statewide CID-adopted codes — but the County itself issues, plan-reviews, fee-schedules and inspects all four disciplines using its own application forms, its own fee schedule and its own inspection staff, reachable at (505) 334-4313. There is no CID referral anywhere on the County's Building Department page, so apply to the County for every trade.
