Maricopa County building permits
Most permits in Maricopa County are issued by the incorporated cities — Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Peoria, and the rest of the Valley each run their own permitting. Maricopa County issues permits for the unincorporated areas between and beyond those city limits. We pull the major city portals daily and unify them so you can search building-permit activity across jurisdictions in one place, rather than checking each portal separately.
What's in a building permit record
- • Address — where the work is happening, matched to the parcel.
- • Work class & type — what's being built (new home, reroof, service upgrade…).
- • Declared valuation — the job's reported construction value.
- • Contractor — resolved to the AZ ROC license where available.
- • Owner — the property owner from county parcel data.
- • Lifecycle stage — applied → issued → in progress → finaled.
Arizona building permits — FAQ
How do I search building permits in Phoenix and Maricopa County?+
Pick a city below or type any address or contractor name into the search box. You’ll see the permit, its status and declared valuation, the contractor who pulled it, and the property owner — across the 20 Arizona cities we cover (most pulled daily), from Phoenix and Mesa to Tucson and Yuma, plus unincorporated county feeds.
Are these Maricopa County permits or city permits?+
Both. In Arizona, each incorporated city issues building permits within its limits, while counties issue permits for unincorporated areas. We pull the major city portals across Arizona — most daily, county reports as published — and unify them so you can search across jurisdictions in one place.
How often is the permit data updated?+
Most sources daily — we pull every daily portal each day; a few county feeds publish weekly or monthly reports, ingested as released (the coverage table below shows each source’s cadence). Every permit is classified by lifecycle stage — applied, issued, in progress, and finaled.
How far back does the permit history go?+
Anonymous users see the last 90 days of activity per address for free. A Plumb Intelligence account unlocks the full permit history.
Is permit data public in Arizona?+
Yes — building permits are public records. We aggregate them from official jurisdiction feeds and fuse them with the AZ ROC contractor roster and Maricopa County Assessor parcel data so they’re searchable and useful in one place.
