Address Changes Coming to Ruidoso

The Village of Ruidoso is in the process of correcting the E-911 addressing issues in our community which is vital to help ensure life safety for our residents and visitors.

New Mexico State Statute and Local Ordinances govern how addresses will be laid out and updated, and if addresses are not meeting the minimum E-911 standards, grant funding from the State of New Mexico could be withheld.

Addresses have already been changed on Highway 70, followed by Sudderth and Mechem. Neighborhoods will be re-addressed after these areas are complete.

Knowing that these changes take time, the Village is working to help businesses navigate the transition and make it as seamless as possible. Businesses will have 120 days to implement their new address information.

The Village of Ruidoso will provide automatic updates to the following:

» Public Utility Companies

» County of Lincoln

» United State Postal Service

» 911 Emergency Services

Questions about the address changes can be directed to the Community Development Department at 575-258-6999.
