New Mexico roof insurance claim deadlines
New Mexico sets its insurer clocks through N.M. Admin. Code 13.7.4, the Office of Superintendent of Insurance's rule on catastrophic claims (text read on the Cornell LII mirror). The New Mexico text we read names no acknowledgement period. 2 New Mexico limits follow.

What we could not confirm in New Mexico
- For an ordinary claim, not tied to a declared catastrophe, we did not find a numeric insurer-response deadline in the sources we could open. The statute text could not be reached (law.justia.com returned 403). Official page.
- The New Mexico pages we opened give no statewide count of days for telling the insurer about a loss, so the answer sits in your own policy. Official page.
- No statewide figure for the time allowed to sue over a roof claim turned up in what we read. Your policy wording and New Mexico law fix it, so request the period from the insurer in writing. Official page.
Not legal advice. These 90-day limits bind the insurer and apply only to claims from an event the Superintendent has declared a catastrophe. They are insurer rules, not deadlines for you. Your policy sets its own notice and suit periods. Information, not legal advice. Ask the insurer in writing or call the Office of Superintendent of Insurance at 855-427-5674.
