Los Ranchos requires a building permit for all solid walls and fences. Applications with two complete sets of plans must be dropped off at Village Hall (6718 Rio Grande Blvd NW). Office hours 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday.
Most New Mexico cities exempt standard residential fences (wood, vinyl, chain-link under 6 to 8 feet) from building permits. Adobe and masonry fences may require structural permits. Fences over 8 feet require permits. Pool barrier fences must meet building code. Check property line and easements before building - utility easements may restrict fence placement. Historic district review may be required separately from building permits.
Unpermitted fence: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification.
