# New Mexico

> Contractor licensing thresholds, regulator routing, requirements, reciprocity, and license types for New Mexico's centralized Construction Industries Division model.

New Mexico takes a centralized approach through the Construction Industries Division (CID). Virtually every aspect of commercial, residential, and public works construction is regulated at the state level, including general building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and gas work. Manufactured housing is separately regulated by HUD and the Manufactured Housing Division.

<Warning>
  Always verify statutes, fees, and application details with the live regulator before making bidding, licensing, or legal decisions.
</Warning>

## At a glance

The fastest way to orient yourself in New Mexico is to know that nearly all construction requires a CID license, and the system is built around classification codes.

  <Tab title="Contractors" icon="hard-hat">
    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="How do I get a contractor license in New Mexico, and which agency handles it?">
        Apply through the Construction Industries Division (CID) at the Regulation and Licensing Department, 2550 Cerrillos Road, 3rd Floor, Santa Fe. Your qualifying party must pass trade and business & law exams (75% minimum each) and demonstrate 2 or 4 years of experience depending on classification. A **\$10,000** consumer protection bond and workers' compensation insurance are required. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Does New Mexico require separate licenses for mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and gas work?">
        Yes. Each requires its own CID classification: MM-1 (Plumbing), MM-2 (Natural Gas Fitting), MM-3 (HVAC), MM-4 (Heating, Cooling and Process Piping), EE-98 or ER-1 (Electrical), and LP classifications (LP Gas). MM-98 combines all mechanical. Journeyman certificates are also required. See [Types of licenses](#types-of-licenses).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Can a homeowner in New Mexico perform their own construction without a license?">
        Yes, with conditions. Homeowners building a residence for themselves may act as their own GC with a Homeowner Building Permit and inspections. However, electrical and plumbing homeowner permits require passing an exam. All HVAC, gas, and fire sprinkler work must still be done by licensed contractors. See [Construction work regulated](#construction-work-regulated).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Where do I go to get licensed in New Mexico?">
        CID is the primary regulator at 2550 Cerrillos Road, Santa Fe, NM 87505. Phone: (505) 476-4700. Exams are administered by PSI Exam Services at 2820 Broadbent Parkway NE, Albuquerque. See [Who regulates construction](#who-regulates-construction).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How much does it cost to get licensed?">
        Application fees are **\$30**. Exam fees range from **\$65** to **\$250** depending on classification. Annual license fees range from **\$50** to **\$300**. The **\$10,000** consumer protection bond is required for all licensees. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="What bonding and insurance requirements apply?">
        All licensees must maintain a **\$10,000** consumer protection bond — failure to maintain it cancels the license. Workers' compensation insurance is required. No financial screening is required beyond the bond. See [Requirements](#requirements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Can I use my out-of-state license in New Mexico?">
        Reciprocity applies only to journeyman electricians through an 11-state group: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Members are mutually exempt from exam requirements. Contractor licenses have no reciprocal arrangements. See [Reciprocal agreements](#reciprocal-agreements).
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Does New Mexico require a license for roofing work?">

      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="How does New Mexico handle manufactured housing licensing?">

## Special considerations

Different roles need different things from a New Mexico page. Use the tab that matches your situation to see what matters most before you read the full detail below.

  <Tab title="Contractors" icon="hard-hat">
    <Tip>
      Nearly all construction work requires a CID license. Start by identifying which classification code (GA, GB, GF, GS, EE, ER, MM, or LP) applies to your project.
    </Tip>

    * A **\$10,000** consumer protection bond is required for all licensees — failure to maintain it cancels the license.
    * Qualifying parties must pass trade and business & law exams with 75% minimum scores, or substitute a 20-hour approved course for the business & law exam.
    * Experience requirements are 2 or 4 years depending on classification.
    * Journeyman certificates require a 3:1 worker-to-journeyman ratio on residential work and 2:1 on commercial work.
    * Homeowners building a residence for themselves are exempt from general licensing but must obtain a Homeowner Building Permit and inspections.
    * Workers' compensation insurance is required for all licensees.

  <Tab title="Regulators" icon="shield-check">
    <Info>
      New Mexico is a centralized single-agency state. The Construction Industries Division handles virtually all construction licensing, permitting, and enforcement.

## Readiness checklist

Four things you need to confirm before you can treat New Mexico as "ready" for a bid or an application. If any of these are unclear, you are not ready yet.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Identify the classification code" icon="tag">
    Determine which CID classification applies: GA (asphalt/roads), GB (general building), GF (fixed works), GS (specialty), EE/ER (electrical), MM/MS (mechanical/plumbing), or LP (LP gas).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the homeowner exemption does not apply" icon="currency-dollar">
    Homeowners building for themselves are exempt from general licensing. Everyone else needs a CID license, a `$10,000` consumer protection bond, and workers' compensation insurance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Route to CID or the correct local authority" icon="building-bank">
    CID is the primary regulator. Some local jurisdictions with CID-approved building departments handle permitting and inspections within their boundaries.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm exams, experience, and fees" icon="clipboard-check">
    Confirm trade and business & law exam requirements (75% minimum), experience duration (2 or 4 years), and the fee schedule for your specific classification.
  </Step>
</Steps>

  If you can identify classification code, bond status, regulator, and exam/experience requirements, you have the minimum package needed for a New Mexico readiness check.

## Construction work regulated

New Mexico regulates virtually all construction at the state level. The key question is not whether a license is needed, but which CID classification code applies.

| Work lane                                             | What triggers regulation                            |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| General building (residential and commercial)         | CID license required under GB classifications       |
| Roads, highways, and paving                           | CID license required under GA classifications       |
| Fixed works (bridges, dams, utilities)                | CID license required under GF classifications       |
| Specialty trades (framing, roofing, demolition, etc.) | CID license required under GS classifications       |
| Electrical work                                       | CID license required under EE or ER classifications |
| Mechanical and plumbing                               | CID license required under MM classifications       |
| LP gas                                                | CID license required under LP classifications       |
| Manufactured housing                                  | Regulated by HUD and Manufactured Housing Division  |

<Note>
  Homeowners building a residence for themselves, or acting as their own general contractor with licensed subcontractors, are exempt from general licensing. They must still obtain a Homeowner Building Permit, inspections, and Certificate of Occupancy. Homeowner permits for electrical and plumbing work require passing an exam. All HVAC, gas, and fire sprinkler work must be performed by licensed contractors regardless of homeowner status.

## Reciprocal agreements

New Mexico belongs to a multi-state reciprocity group for journeyman electricians. Members of this group are mutually exempt from exam requirements when applying for certification in another member state.
