Dear Santa Fe business owner:
- Are you starting a new business?
- Changing or adding a location of an existing business?
- Changing business ownership? or
- Are you establishing a home-based business with customer/client visitation?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please submit a request for a Certificate of Compliance (COC). The COC verifies that the proposed business location meets applicable zoning, building, fire, and safety requirements, and is required before you can apply for your new business license. The COC is an important first step to ensure the health, safety, and wellness of the community and your business.
Certificate of Compliance Process
Step 1: Apply for a Certificate of Compliance
Please contact the Inspections Division to begin the application process:
- Phone: 505-955-6150 or 505-955-6151
- Email: erromero@santafenm.gov or mamillan@santafenm.gov
They will provide the Certificate of Compliance application and instructions.
Step 2: Schedule Required Inspections
Once the application and all required documentation have been submitted, you will be assigned a Zoning Inspector. The Zoning Inspector will coordinate and request additional inspections as needed, which may include Fire, Building, Plumbing, and Electrical.
Step 3: Apply for a Business License
After your Certificate of Compliance has been approved, you may apply for your Business License through the City’s Citizens Self Service (CSS) portal at santafenm-energovpub.tylerhost.net/Apps/selfservice#/home
