State Building Permit (NM Construction Industries Division) in Edgewood, New Mexico

The actual building permit for new construction, additions, alterations, repairs, or demolition within the Town of Edgewood, issued by the New Mexico Regulation & Licensing Department's Construction Industries Division (CID) rather than by the Town, because Edgewood has not been designated a CID Local Enforcement Agency (LEA). Applicants must first obtain the Town's Development Permit zoning/flood-plain sign-off (see the development-permit entry above) before CID will accept the State Building Permit application.

Tips

  • CID calculates your project's valuation and fee for you if you apply in person; if mailing the application, call a CID office first to get the fee before mailing.
  • Two full sets of plans are required — hard-copy submittal is at least 11"x17" paper at 1/4"=1'-0" scale minimum; CID also offers an Electronic Plan Review (EPR) option.
  • A homeowner's permit cannot be used if a GB-2 or GB-98 licensed contractor is acting as general contractor on the project — that requires a standard contractor-held building permit. Contractor
