Door-to-Door Permit Rules in New Mexico: 1 City Checked

So far one city in New Mexico has been checked. It links to its own card, which cites the ordinance and shows the date it was checked.

Albuquerque

  • Permit: Yes. It is unlawful to conduct any business solicitation without a valid permit in the rep’s possession (13-3-1-3), and a Category B permit is the one that covers private residences (13-3-1-2).
  • Fee: $10 per applicant, nonrefundable, paid with the application (13-3-1-9). The city’s business license pages and the application form print no fee, so confirm the amount at the counter. The application also asks whether your City of Albuquerque business registration fee is current.
  • Hours you may knock: 9:00 a.m. to sunset under a Category B (residential) permit (13-3-1-10(B)). The Albuquerque Police Department’s Door-to-Door Solicitation sheet says the same.
  • Checked: 19 September 2026
