WELCOME from the MAYOR
O
n behalf of the citizens of Angel Fire, I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome. We are fortunate to live
in an incredibly beautiful mountain community, a resort destination visited by folks from around the world. Angel Fire offers the perfect backdrop for building an alpine home, whether as a full-time resident or as a second home.
A lot of building projects are on track here, including a
state-of-the-art RV resort, fiber optics expansion, planned streets and infrastructure improvement.
Spring rains here have greened up the valley. With perfect summer weather,
we invite you to explore the great outdoors, culture, arts, cuisine and activities

simple in theory: purchase a vacant lot, then have a contractor build your dream home. But when we take into account all the people involved, including realtors, contractors, designers, surveyors, bankers, inspectors, etc. and then add all the permits, regulations and approval processes, things can become a bit complex.
