What shapes a project in Farmington

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. Housing age and types

    Census estimates put Farmington's median year built at 1982. About 63 percent of units are single-family detached homes and about 16 percent are mobile homes, a higher share than in Albuquerque or Las Cruces.

  2. Windows and roofs need permits

    Farmington requires permits for roofs, overlays and re-roofs, window removal and replacement, siding, decks, fences and additions. Cabinetry, countertops and exterior painting on homes do not need a permit. Permits are issued in person, and every business working in the city needs a city business license.

  3. Colder climate zone

    The state energy code places Farmington in climate zone 5B at about 5,395 feet. The city lists a 24-inch frost depth and a 20 psf minimum roof live load for design.
