N.M. Stat. § 5-12-1
Amateur radio antennas; limit on regulations.
A. Amateur radio antenna towers constructed prior to the effective date of this
section are exempted from subsequent changes in zoning regulations by the
municipality or county and may be repaired as required.
B. A municipality or county should reasonably accommodate amateur radio service
communications by allowing antenna structures to be erected at heights and
dimensions sufficient to accommodate amateur radio service communications, but a
municipality or county may regulate amateur radio antennas by requiring amateur radio
antennas or support structures to meet screening, setback and placement, construction
and health and safety standards. However, the regulation should constitute the
minimum practicable regulation to accomplish the local municipality's or county's
purpose.
C. As used in this section, "amateur radio antenna" means an antenna structure
operated by a federally licensed amateur radio operator for amateur radio activities and
does not mean citizens band or commercial antennas.
