Tips

  • Residential additions/remodels fall under the City's general 'Residential' A.R.S. § 9-835 timeframe (25 administrative + 65 substantive staff review days = 90 overall) — the same track as new construction, since the fee schedule and checklists do not publish a separate faster timeframe specific to additions.
  • Detached accessory structures 200 sq ft or less with no utility connections skip the building permit, but Planning and Zoning approval on siting is still required.
  • Plan review fees for interior alterations, small detached accessory structures, patio covers, and gazebos on existing R-3 buildings are capped at $35.00, distinct from the uncapped 65%-of-permit-fee plan review on full new construction.
