NATIONAL FLOOD PLAIN INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

There are 104 New Mexico communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. If you are proposing construction or development in one of these communities, a permit is required before work begins within any FEMA mapped Special Flood Hazard Area. Permits are required to ensure that the proposed construction or development meets the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program and the community's floodplain management ordinance.

The New Mexico Construction Industries Division and Manufactured Housing Division will no longer allow for the opening of new pre-paid accounts.

 

Transfers between existing pre-paid accounts remain allowable.​  Refund requests from existing prepaid accounts will continue under existing procedures.  However, also effective on September 23, 2019, the divisions will no longer allow deposits to be made to existing pre-paid accounts.  However, permits can be paid by using funds remaining in an existing pre-paid account with a fund balance.

 

If you have any questions regarding these changes to current policy, please call Construction Industries at (505)476-4700 or Manufactured Housing at (505) 365-3429.
