Angel Fire is a resort community located approximately 152 miles northeast of Albuquerque, 90 miles northeast of Santa Fe, 60 miles north of Las Vegas, 25 miles east of Taos, and approximately 80 miles west of Raton. Angel Fire was established in 1967. The village of Angel Fire was incorporated in 1986. We are the 99th incorporated municipality in the state of New Mexico. There are over 7,000 residential lots and commercial tracts with over 6,000 property owners with more than 1,100 residential, commercial and multifamily structures representing almost 6,000 pillows. Of the 6,000 property owners, the majority are part-time residents and their homes and condos are either rented out through any one of our property management companies, or used by friends and family. Angel Fire consists of a ski area with over 30 miles of trails, an 18 hole golf course, 6 tennis courts, a stocked fishing lake, stables, hiking trails, an RV park and a park with ball field and playground, and marked snowmobile trails. Over the past six years, there has been a steady increase in the skier days and rounds of golf. The 2000-01 ski season total was 165,000 skier days; rounds of golf for 2000-01 was 28,000. Although the Village of Angel Fire has a year round population of only 1,048 residents, on any given holiday, there can be as many as 10,000 guests in the resort. During the entire year, there could be as many as 2500 guests in our town on any given day during peak seasons. Although we are a year round resort, the slower months are October and April.

THE PROCESS LEADING
TO A BUILDING PERMIT
IN THE VILLAGE
OF ANGEL FIRE
Those wishing to build a structure, including an addition to an existing building, must first obtain a building permit packet from the Village Planning & Zoning Department. You may call 505-377-3232. This packet should have all the information you will need to meet the requirements for the Village.
At the same time, if you will be building within the Resort, you may turn in the materials required by the Angel Fire Environmental/Architectural Control Committee. Their purpose is to assure that deed restrictions are followed. For further information, call 505-377-4211.
The necessary permits for most new construction include on-site liquid waste disposal system, zoning, encroachment and building permits. The N.M. Construction Industries Division will issue permits for plumbing, mechanical and electrical work to your subcontractors. After the Planning & Zoning Commission has approved the project, the plans will be sent to the Building Inspector for plan review. The building permit should be ready within two work days.
For additional information concerning commercial projects or experimental single-family residential permits, call the Building Inspector, Benjamin Maynes at 505-377-1389 or email at benm@afgov.org
