Permit Authority

The Town of Edgewood administers land use and zoning within its incorporated boundaries, which extend into portions of Santa Fe, Bernalillo, and Torrance Counties. For the Santa Fe County portion of Edgewood, the Town is the zoning and land use authority. However, building construction permits (structural) may be routed through the New Mexico Construction Industries Division (CID) because Edgewood does not appear to operate as a fully designated LEA for all building permit types. Confirm routing for your specific project with Planning and Zoning.
