How these numbers are made

Source: City of Las Cruces GIS, Information_Services map service (Accela feed): BuildingPermits and CertificateOFoccupancy layers, read 20 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The city's permit layer carries no permit status, and only building permits get a certificate of occupancy or completion in the public data, so no finished share is shown.

Building, trade, solar, fence, sign and demolition permits the City of Las Cruces issued inside the city limits. Right-of-way, paving, site-improvement and utility permits are left out. Unincorporated Doña Ana County is permitted by the county and is not in this file.

  • The city's permit layer has no status, so we show no finished share.
  • A final date is the date of the certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion the city issued for a building permit (new homes, additions, alterations); electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing and solar permits have none, so time to final is shown only for building work.
  • The value is the project valuation on the permit. The city records no value on electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits, so those are left unpriced.
  • Homes are the permits the city files under its Residential project class plus manufactured-home installations. Solar, fence, window and door, and sign permits carry no residential or commercial class, so they count as other property in the homes figures.
  • The layer gives a street address and map point but no ZIP code, so there are no ZIP pages.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
