State License
STATE GS-21NM CID
Landscaping contractors in Albuquerque must navigate both state-level licensing requirements and local municipal regulations. The New Mexico Construction Industries Division (CID) oversees the GS-21 license classification, which is mandatory for projects exceeding $7,200 in value. Contractors must ensure they are properly registered with the City of Albuquerque and comply with local ordinances regarding water usage and storm drain protection.
Beyond licensing, compliance involves securing appropriate permits for structural or plumbing-related landscape features, such as retaining walls and irrigation systems. Maintaining current insurance coverage and adhering to environmental regulations regarding chemical runoff are critical for operating legally within Bernalillo County.
Compliance is cumulative; state licensing is the baseline, while city permits are project-specific.
