Procedures for making application for a Temporary Use Permit, as provided in the Maricopa County
Zoning Ordinance.
A Temporary Use Permit is required for any of the following:
Temporary Housing during construction of a dwelling
Temporary Events
Non-residential Use of a Mobile Home
Underage Occupancy within the Senior Citizen Overlay Zoning District
Temporary Seasonal Sales
Temporary Model Home Sales Complex
Temporary Construction Office/Yard Complex
Temporary Caretaker’s Quarters
Other Temporary Uses as determined by the zoning inspector
After it has been determined that the initial submittal is complete, the filing fee per Zoning
Ordinance requirement is to be paid by the owner or owner’s authorized agent (checks
should be made payable to “Maricopa County Planning and Development”). A receipt will
then be issued and a case number assigned.
As of September 13, 2013, the Temporary Use Permit process shall be subject ARS § 1605, a State
statute that mandates establishment of timeframes to either approve or deny a “license” as
defined by the statute. The full statute may be viewed at:
http://www.azleg.gov/arstitle/
The statute sets up two types of review timeframes: Administrative and Substantive. The Board
of Supervisors (BOS) through the P-30 Licensing Timeframes Ordinance has adopted a 25 day
administrative timeframe and a 75 substantive timeframe for Temporary Use Permits. An
application related to a residential use is not subject to the statute. An application that is part
of design build project may establish negotiated time process during the pre-application
meeting.
Administrative Review Period
The statutes allow for multiple reviews during the administrative review period.
Substantive Review Period
Only one review is allowed for the substantive review period. The County can amend the
substantive review comments to address legal requirements not identified on the original
substantive review comments.
The applicant can authorizes a 50% time increase. This authorization can be given at time of
application or at any time during the process.

Temporary Use Permit Application Instructions Internet: www.maricopa.gov/planning 10/30/19
After receipt of an application, the administrative review period begins and staff will review for
administrative completeness. The applicant will receive a formal response from their assigned
planner and may be required to submit additional information. Once administrative comments
have been given to the applicant, the timeframe clock will stop and will resume upon
resubmittal of the application materials. Once the application is deemed administratively
complete, the planner will formally notify the applicant that the project has entered the
substantive review period and technical comments will be given to the applicant within a
reasonable timeframe. The substantive timeframe clock stops from receipt of comments until the
applicant makes a formal resubmittal.
At any time during the process, an applicant can check the status of their application by
viewing the Citizens Access Portal on the Planning and Developments website:
https://accela.maricopa.gov/citizenaccessmcoss/
The applicant’s assigned planner can also be utilized as a resource for checking application
status. If at any time comments are given to the applicant, a notation will be made as to the
administrative or substantive timeframe frame remaining which will not resume until a
resubmittal is made. Note: It is very important to return the planner’s comment memo upon
resubmittal so that the appropriate statutory timeframe can resume.
Depending on the comments received, the application materials may need revisions. The
owner or authorized agent must submit revised materials to the OSS. The applicant’s
resubmittal must meet the County’s technical requirement or it will be denied. Additionally, an
administrative decision of denial can be made if the Director finds that it is not possible to grant
the application within the timeframe or the applicant has not provided additional or
supplemental information within 90 days (not working days) of a written or electronic request for
said information.
Upon acceptance of an administratively complete application by staff, the subject property
shall be posted with a “Notice of Application” for a period of 10 days. If a written appeal
(objection/protest) is received within the 10-day posting period, the request shall be placed on
the agenda of the first available Board of Adjustment hearing for resolution of the application is
deemed substantively complete. The owner or owner’s authorized agent and appellant will be
notified in writing of the hearing date. If no objection is received during the required 10-day
posting period, the Temporary Use Permit may be approved administratively, provided it has
been deemed substantively complete.
Once staff is satisfied that technical requirements have been met, staff will either approve the
request or schedule the request for hearing at the first available Board of Adjustment meeting.
At this time, the substantive timeframe clock will stop. If applicable, the owner or owner’s
authorized agent will be given the staff’s written recommendation to the Board
approximately 5 days prior to the hearing. The Board of Adjustment meets at 10:00 a.m. in the
Board of Supervisors’ Auditorium at 205 West Jefferson Avenue, unless otherwise noted.
After a decision has been made by either staff or the Board, a decision letter will be issued.

The building permit for the permanent dwelling must remain active while the Temporary
Use is in effect. A separate zoning clearance and/or building permit is also required for all
other temporary uses.
Failure to meet any required conditions placed upon the Temporary Use Permit shall
result in revocation of the Temporary Use Permit by the Zoning Inspector. Requests for a
time extension to the Temporary Use Permit shall be submitted to and processed through
the Board of Adjustment, as outlined in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
If an applicant has not made a resubmittal of application materials in either
administrative or substantive review periods after three (3) months, the application will
be closed due to inactivity.
The conditions of approval of this Temporary Use Permit may be appealed to the Hearing Officer
pursuant to ARS § 11-832. Provide request for appeal to the Hearing Officer Liaison at this address
