Tips

  • Building sewers connecting to a private (septic) system require separate Navajo County Health Department approval before installation — this is in addition to, not instead of, the City plumbing permit.
  • The City's plumbing plan review follows the same general ~15-working-day timeline stated on the Community Development page; no separate faster track for minor plumbing scope was found published.
