The Permit Cancellation Request Form is a City of Albuquerque form on which the contractor on record for a permit asks to cancel that permit for a stated property location. If you searched for an Albuquerque business license, note that this form is not one: it cancels a permit and does not apply for or renew a license. The request is sworn before a notary and ends with an approval line for a Division Manager.

What is Permit Cancellation Request Form – Albuquerque, NM?
The Permit Cancellation Request Form is a one-page City of Albuquerque form in which a contractor states, effective immediately, that they wish to cancel a permit they hold as contractor on record, and gives the reason for the cancellation.\n\nThe form is written as a short sworn statement. It asks for the date, the contractor's name, the permit number, the property location of the permit and the reason for cancellation, with several ruled lines for the explanation. Below the statement, the printed heading "State of New Mexico, County of Bernalillo" introduces a notary block: the day, month and year the statement was sworn, the name of the person swearing, the contractor's signature, and the notary's stamp and signature.\n\nThe last block reads "Approved by" and has lines for a Division Manager's signature and a date. That block is for the city's approval, not for the contractor.\n\nThe form carries no form number or revision date. It cancels an existing permit only: it does not apply for a permit, and it is not a business license form.
Who needs to file Permit Cancellation Request Form – Albuquerque, NM?
The contractor on record for a City of Albuquerque permit uses this form when they want that permit cancelled. The wording is personal to that contractor: it begins "I, [name], contractor on record for permit number [number] wish to cancel permit for property location [address]." The same person swears the statement before a notary.\n\n- Contractors who hold a permit and no longer wish to proceed with it, for a reason they can state in the space provided.\n- A Division Manager, who completes the "Approved by" line after the request is made.\n\nThe form is not for people who are not the contractor on record for the permit, because the statement is made in that contractor's name. It is also not for business license matters: it concerns one permit at one property location.\n\nThe form does not say that anyone may sign or swear on the contractor's behalf, and it prints no instructions for representatives.
When to file Permit Cancellation Request Form – Albuquerque, NM
Use the form when you, as contractor on record, decide to cancel a permit. The statement on the form says the cancellation is requested "effective immediately," so complete it when you are ready to have the cancellation take effect and have access to a notary.\n\nThe form prints no deadline, filing window or expiration date. The cancellation is not complete until the request has been sworn before a notary and the Division Manager has approved it in the "Approved by" block. The form states no processing time.

How to submit Permit Cancellation Request Form – Albuquerque, NM
The form prints no mailing address, portal, email address or office hours, so it names no submission channel of its own. What it does require is a sworn signature and an approval:\n\n- Before the notary: the contractor signs the statement in the notary block, which reads that it is sworn to before the notary, and the notary adds a stamp and signature. The block is headed State of New Mexico, County of Bernalillo.\n- Division Manager approval: the "Approved by" lines at the bottom are for a Division Manager's signature and date.\n\nFor where and how to deliver the signed, notarized request, contact the City of Albuquerque through the page where the form is published: https://www.cabq.gov/planning/documents/permit-cancellation-request-for-contractors-2.pdf. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the City of Albuquerque's own channels.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Signing the statement before meeting the notary; the form says it is sworn to before the notary, who adds a stamp and signature.
- Leaving out the permit number or the property location, the two entries that identify which permit is being cancelled.
- Leaving the reason for cancellation blank; the form asks for the reason on the ruled lines.
- Writing the date, month and year of the oath incorrectly or not at all in the notary block, which asks for the day, month, year and the name of the person swearing.
- Filling in the "Approved by" Division Manager and date lines yourself; that block is for the Division Manager.
- Submitting the form for a person other than the contractor on record, when the statement is made in the contractor's own name.
- Using this form for an Albuquerque business license; it cancels a permit only.
