The Building Division ensures that the County's physical environment is built according to the State of New Mexico's minimum standards of construction. The intent is to protect the value and safety of each construction project, the value and safety of its neighbors, and the contribution each project makes to the County's economic base.

Building Division staff members assist developers and contractors who wish to build or remodel structures within the County, guiding them through the necessary zoning, permitting, and inspection processes that are in place to enhance the appearance, growth, and safety of our community.
