Do I need a permit for pavers, driveway, or hardscape in Los Lunas?

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether pavers, driveway, or hardscape needs a permit in Los Lunas comes down to the details of your project.

The older CID guide lists sidewalks and driveways not more than 30 inches above grade and not over a basement as exempt, but the current 14.5.2.9(B) NMAC deletes several model IRC exemption items, so confirm with the AHJ. Ground-level patios and walkways are usually zoning and drainage matters handled by the city or county. Retaining walls built with hardscape are covered by the separate retaining wall limits (36 inches of unbalanced fill and 6 feet total height). Which office issues the permit depends on the address: a city or county with its own certified building department, or CID in all other areas (14.5.1.7 NMAC; NMSA 60-13-41).
