New Mexico does not require a statewide handyman license — verification leans on entity registration, court records, OSHA citation history, and BBB complaints. Plus any local municipal licensing in your city. Groundcheck cross-checks all of these.
New Mexico allows handyman work under $7,200 (labor and materials combined) without a CID license. Above that threshold, a contractor license is required.
