BUILDING INSPECTIONS/BUILDING PERMITS 
Are you looking to add a fence, build a carport, construct an addition to your house, or finally get that shed you’ve been dreaming of? If you are living within the city limits of Portales then it’s likely you’ll need a permit.

All building inspections and permitting are available through the City of Clovis BUT make sure to check with Portales’ Planning Department first as you may have to complete initial paperwork with us.
