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 We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.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.
Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
