confidentiality claimed must be submitted. For a permit renewal application, an application fee is not required. An annual administrative
fee will be charged per Rule 280, §302.2. For questions regarding billing, call (602) 372- 1071.

Notice of Regulatory Reform
In accordance with A.R.S. §11-1604:
A. A county shall not base a licensing decision in whole or in part on a licensing requirement or condition that is not specifically authorized by statute,
rule, ordinance or delegation agreement. A general grant of authority does not constitute a basis for imposing a licensing requirement or condition unless
the authority specifically authorizes the requirement or condition.
B. Unless specifically authorized, a county shall avoid duplication of other laws that do not enhance regulatory clarity and shall avoid dual permitting to
the maximum extent practicable.
C. This section does not prohibit county flexibility to issue licenses or adopt ordinances or codes.
D. A county shall not request or initiate discussions with a person about waiving that person's rights.
E. This section may be enforced in a private civil action and relief may be awarded against a county. The court may award reasonable attorney fees,
damages and all fees associated with the license application to a party that prevails in an action against a county for a violation of this section.
F. A county employee may not intentionally or knowingly violate this section. A violation of this section is cause for disciplinary action or dismissal
pursuant to the county's adopted personnel policy.
G. This section does not abrogate the immunity provided by section 12-820.01 or 12-820.02.
