The City of Albuquerque operates its own independent building and permitting department for properties within city limits. Bernalillo County Building and Zoning handles permits for unincorporated areas of the county. Projects in unincorporated areas may be subject to additional review for floodplains and specific zoning overlays defined in the Bernalillo County Zoning Ordinance.
The county enforces strict requirements for development within the Volcano Heights and Volcano Canyon Sector Development Plan areas, which include specific architectural and design standards.
Cómo encaja con el estado
La autoridad estatal aquí es New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department - Construction Industries Division. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
