What shapes a project in Santa Fe
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Older homes and townhomes
Census estimates put the median year built in Santa Fe at 1986, with about 11 percent of homes built before 1950. About 10 percent of units are single-family attached homes such as townhomes, and about 9 percent are mobile homes.
Historic district review
Work on the exterior of structures in the city's five historic districts must be approved by the Historic Preservation Division before it starts. Many requests get staff approval, while others need a public hearing before the Historic Districts Review Board.
Colder zone and radon
The state energy code places Santa Fe in climate zone 5B, colder than Albuquerque's 4B. The Bureau of Geology notes elevated radon risk concentrated in north-central New Mexico, so a radon test is worth including when a remodel opens floors or foundations.
