Demolition of a contributing property is not permitted. Demolition of a noncontributing property of more than one hundred twenty (120) square feet or a structure that is recommended as a contributing property is discouraged and must be approved with a certificate of appropriateness. Upon any application for demolition of a noncontributing property, the code administrator may notify, in writing, and provide a copy of the application, to the historic preservation division of the State of New Mexico department of cultural affairs. Comments received from the historic preservation division may be considered by the historic preservation commission in approving or denying the certificate of appropriateness application.
