The municipality laws regulate most building project. Building codes should be keenly
applied to all aspects in constructing the structure of a building. These laws and codes
are enforced to ensure that the building will be compliant for added stability to the
structure, fire safety and the well-being of future occupants.
1. Building Permit
The main concern of this is to address the safety concerns of the occupants or
tenants of the building.
In Arizona, construction work such as building from scratch, expanding, repairing
or demolishing an existing structure will need a building permit.

repairs in low buildings.
2. Development Permit
This type of permit allows a specific type of development on a certain parcel of
land in the community to proceed with the zoning and development as ordered
by the regulatory laws in that specific area.
This permit covers the building height, land use, community planning and
compatibility.
3. Occupancy Permit
This permit signifies that your project is compliant to the province’s building code.
This usually gets issued after all the inspectors have signed on the project.
The contractor of the project will be the one communicating with the inspectors
for them to review the progress of the project. After successfully approved of an
occupancy permit, if yours is a new business, a business license should be
applied as well.
The best way to ensure that you have all the permits you need for your project is to
check with the Planning and Development Office. The permits you will be needing will
depend on the scope of your project.
All the permits should be well attended to. It is ideal to hire a well-experienced
