Check Lists
The following checklists are provided to assist citizens with the preparation and submission of their construction permit applications.
ADA Advisory Bulletin & Disproportionality Worksheet
The construction of sidewalks, drive pads, and ramps must comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The advisory bulletin below is intended to help permit applicants to understand how the ADA will be applied to their proposed construction project.
Purpose of the Accessibility Analysis Disproportionality Worksheet:
The City of Santa Fe is obligated to enforce state laws and codes as they pertain to accessibility. When existing buildings are altered, accessibility improvements outside the intended project scope are often required. The International Existing Building Code (IEBC), adopted by the State of New Mexico, limits the cost of those required accessibility improvements to 20% of the cost of alterations affecting the primary function area.
