STATE GS-21NM CID
Landscaping contractors in Santa Fe must navigate both state-level licensing and local municipal requirements. For projects exceeding $7,200, the New Mexico Construction Industries Division (CID) requires a specific trade license. Additionally, businesses must register locally with the City of Santa Fe or Santa Fe County to operate legally within their respective jurisdictions.
Beyond licensing, contractors must ensure compliance with local building codes, especially regarding water conservation, irrigation backflow prevention, and structural hardscaping. Always verify permit requirements with the Santa Fe Land Use Department before beginning any project involving significant earth movement, retaining walls, or utility connections.
