Commercial Tenant Improvement (T.I.) Permit in Prescott Valley, Arizona

Required for interior alterations, build-outs, and upgrades to existing commercial buildings/tenant spaces in Prescott Valley. This is a genuinely distinct permit from new commercial construction: the Town publishes a separate 'Commercial T.I. Application' and 'Commercial T.I. Application Checklist' (both updated 12/2024), with its own lower $107.00 application deposit (vs. $321.00 for New Commercial) and a lighter submittal packet that omits the Engineering-Permit prerequisite, Special Inspections and Testing Agreement, Temporary Utility for Construction Agreement, and Water Meter/Water Tap applications required for ground-up new commercial construction. Reviewed against the same 2018 IBC and Town amendments as new commercial construction; the Town's 2026 Turnaround Times document has no separate 'Tenant Improvement' review row — T.I. submittals are reviewed under the same square-footage-tiered 'Commercial Building Plans' timeline table used for new construction.

Fee schedule

Building Permit Fee — Based on Total Valuation of T.I. workTown of Prescott Valley Comprehensive Fee Schedule, Development Services: Building Permit Fees; no separate T.I.-only valuation table exists — the same six-tier table applies
Same six-tier Total Valuation schedule as new residential/commercial construction ($26.75 minimum at $1-$500 valuation, scaling per the valuation brackets)
Plan Review Fee — CommercialTown of Prescott Valley Comprehensive Fee Schedule, Development Services: Building Permit Fees — same 'Plan Review Fee - Commercial' line item used for new commercial construction; no separate lower rate for T.I. was found
65% of the Building Permit Fee, including Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical Fees
Commercial T.I. Application DepositPer the Commercial T.I. Application Checklist (updated 12/2024), which directs applicants to pay this amount to the Permitting Office. NOTE — this matches the Fee Schedule's 'Deposits - Commercial/Industrial - Additions/Remodels' line ($107.00), not the Fee Schedule's separate, lower 'Deposits - Commercial/Industrial - Small Tenant Improvements' line ($32.10); the Town's own documents do not explain the distinction between 'Small Tenant Improvements' and standard Tenant Improvements, or which deposit line the $32.10 figure is meant to apply to. Both figures are reproduced here verbatim rather than silently resolved — the $107.00 figure is the one actually collected per the current (12/2024) application checklist and should be treated as authoritative pending confirmation with the Permitting Office.

Tips

  • The Town's 2026 Turnaround Times document has no dedicated 'Tenant Improvement' or 'Commercial T.I.' row — T.I. submittals fall under the same square-footage-tiered 'Commercial Building Plans' table used for new construction: Small (under 5,000 sf) 40/45 business days (SPR Goal/Average); Medium (5,000-50,000 sf) 55/65; Large (50,000 sf+) 65/75. Most single-tenant retail T.I. build-outs along the SR-69 corridor will typically fall in the Small tier, but the applicable tier is driven by the submitted plans' square footage, not by the T.I.-vs-new-construction distinction.
  • Expedited Plan Review (EXPR) is a flat 15 business days across all three size tiers; Fast Track (FTR) is listed as 'N/A' for every commercial tier, including T.I. — Prescott Valley does not offer an in-house Fast Track option for commercial permits of any kind.
  • All review timeframes operate within the outer statutory ceiling of the Town's A.R.S. § 9-835 Required Timeframe Posting (30 days Administrative Completeness / 60 days Substantive Review / 90-day overall statutory ceiling).
  • The Commercial T.I. Application Checklist is materially lighter than the New Commercial Application Checklist: no prior Engineering Permit is required, and the packet omits the Special Inspections and Testing Agreement, Temporary Utility for Construction Agreement, Water Meter & Utility Service Application, and Commercial Water Tap Installation Application that new-construction submittals must include.
  • The Fee Schedule's 'Deposits - Commercial/Industrial - Small Tenant Improvements' line ($32.10) does not match the $107.00 deposit actually specified on the current (12/2024) Commercial T.I. Application Checklist, which instead matches the Fee Schedule's 'Additions/Remodels' deposit line — confirm the applicable deposit amount with the Permitting Office (928-759-5535) before submitting.

Yes. The Town's Commercial T.I. Application and Commercial T.I. Application Checklist (both updated 12/2024) are distinct from the New Commercial Application: T.I. has a lower $107.00 deposit (vs. $321.00), no prerequisite Engineering Permit, and a lighter document checklist that omits the Special Inspections Agreement, Temporary Utility Agreement, and Water Meter/Tap applications required for new construction.

$107.00, per the Commercial T.I. Application Checklist (updated 12/2024), paid to the Permitting Office (928-759-5535). This matches the Fee Schedule's 'Deposits - Commercial/Industrial - Additions/Remodels' line rather than its separate, lower 'Small Tenant Improvements' line ($32.10) — confirm the exact figure with the Permitting Office.
