Building Permits in Peoria, Arizona

Peoria provides building-permit services through its Development Services Portal. The official portal provides online permit information for Building Development and allows inspection scheduling.

Application and records

Use the Development Services Portal to search and manage building applications and current permit records. The portal covers Building Development as well as Engineering, Fire, and Planning records, so a project can require more than one review discipline.

Codes

Building work must comply with Peoria's currently adopted codes and local amendments plus applicable Arizona law. Because the available official portal does not itself state a complete current code-edition list, this guide does not infer editions from neighboring Arizona cities. Confirm the current adopted-code page or ordinance with Building Development for the project.

Fees

The City portal notes development-application fee changes effective September 5, 2025 under Ordinance 2025-21 and directs users to the respective department fee schedules. Exact building charges depend on the project and current schedule; no generic valuation percentage or plan-review multiplier is substituted here.

Inspections and completion

The portal provides building inspection scheduling. Required inspections, final approval, and occupancy documentation depend on the permit and approved scope. Follow the issued permit record rather than a generic inspection checklist.

Timing and professional design

No universal review duration is asserted here. Arizona statutes and the adopted code determine when a registered architect or engineer is required, with project-specific exemptions; verify those rules for the proposed work.
