STATE MM-98 / MM-2NM CID
HVAC contractors operating in Albuquerque must navigate a dual-layer regulatory environment. The State of New Mexico Construction Industries Division (CID) governs the licensing and technical standards for mechanical trades, while the City of Albuquerque handles local permitting, business registration, and site inspections. Compliance is essential to avoid project delays, fines, and potential license revocation.
Contractors are responsible for ensuring that all mechanical installations comply with the New Mexico Mechanical Code and the state-adopted energy conservation standards. Proper documentation, including EPA refrigerant certification and proof of insurance, must be maintained at all times to satisfy both state and municipal oversight requirements.
