Pinal County Community Development
A.R.S. § 11-1605 Application Acknowlegment Form
State Law contained in A.R.S. § 11-1605 requires the County to establish overall time frames for the review of
applications for licenses, permits and processes requiring County approval. The overall time frame is to be
broken down into a time period to determine whether the application is complete or incomplete, known as
administrative completeness time frame, and a substantive review time frame to determine whether the
license, permit or approval can be granted.
Administrative Completeness Time Frame: The time frame to determine whether the application is complete
or incomplete. During this time frame, each reviewing department can issue a notice of deficiencies to the
applicant which will stop the running of the overall time frame and administrative completeness time frame
from the date of issuance of the notice to the applicant until the date the County receives the missing
information. If the submittal of missing information is not complete, an additional notice of deficiencies can be
issued which will stop the running of the time frames.
Substantive Review Time Frame: The time frame to determine whether the license, permit, or approval can be
granted. This time frame will not begin unless the application matches the application at the end of the
administrative completeness time frame. During this time frame, each reviewing department can make only
one request for additional information, unless the applicant agrees to a supplemental request for additional
information. The substantive review time frame and overall time frame will stop running from the date the
request for additional information is issued until the date the County receives that information.
Please select the type of permit for which you are applying.

PINAL COUNTY AIR QUALITY
*This department requires a separate permit submittal
TO: Site Plan Review Applicants
FROM: Michael Sundblom, Director Pinal County Air Quality
DATE: April 14, 2016
Re: Air Quality requirements that pertain to the development process
1. Dust Registration Requirement
Pinal County requires a dust registration for any project that will affect more than 1/10 of an acre
of surface area. As a practical matter, any commercial or industrial development will trigger a dust
registration requirement.
2. Demolition Related Requirements
Demolition or renovation of an existing commercial building, a multi-family dwelling, or a
multiple single-family homes can trigger a requirement to do an asbestos survey, and can
possibly trigger a requirement for asbestos abatement. Severe penalties apply for not following
the proper process. If your project involves demolition, we suggest you contact us directly as
shown below.
3. Air Quality Permit Requirements for “Industrial Type” Sources
Generally, Pinal County requires an air quality permit for any stationary source that will have the
potential to emit more than 5.5 #/day or 1 ton per year of any regulated pollutant. If your project
will involve industrial activity, stationary engines, fuel-burning equipment or any other activity
that you would expect to generate air emissions, we suggest you contact us directly as shown
below:

RE: On-Site Wastewater Facility (Septic) Requirement
PRIORITY: N/A
On-Site Wastewater Facility (Septic) Requirement
A septic may be required if your parcel is not in a sanitary district or sewer area. According to Arizona
Administrative Code R18-9-A309., a complete and separate submittal must be made to Pinal County
Community Development Aquifer Protection Division (PCCDAPD) for the installation of an on-site
wastewater treatment facility.
The submittal consists of an application, a signed and dated design sheet, scaled site plan, materials list,
zoning clearance and a complete site investigation report provided by the department. The site
investigation report shall be completed by a qualified person as defined in the Arizona Administrative Code
R18-9-A310 H.
If an existing septic system is to serve this facility, verification of the septic system size and verification of
the required setbacks must be made.
The required submittal packets and applications are available on our website at:
