Santa Fe County's Growth Management Department Building and Development Services Division recently implemented a new program to improve customer service to County residents in unincorporated areas who are building or making additions to their property and to assist Code Enforcement Officers in monitoring illegal construction activities. The program is an inspection process for new construction within the unincorporated areas of Santa Fe County. Due to this new program, Code Enforcement will no longer be accepting complaints/violations by phone.
