PROCESSING TIMES:
Plans and permit applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. Review times are based on the
complexity of the project and the current workload volume of the Planning & Development Department. Estimated
times are available from P&D staff on a weekly basis. In general, you can expect:
• Repair and remodeling permits for simple building structures approximately 500 square feet in area of
conventional construction, with an electric service of 200 amp or less, and is not a second story or basement
structure may be issued over the counter. New homes and additions require a plan review. Subsequent
submittals are sometimes required to address significant corrections.
• Applications for which there has been no activity within 180 days expire and plans and other data submitted for
review may be returned to the applicant or destroyed. In order to renew action on an application after
expiration, the applicant must resubmit plans and pay a new plan review fee.
FEES:
User fees for development approval services are established by City ordinance and are intended to pay for 100% of
such services without taxpayer subsidy. The fees vary based on the size and nature of each project. The Planning &
Development Department Fee Schedule (Phoenix City Code, Appendix A.2) is available at the Planning &
Development Department for your use and information.
PLAN REVIEW FEES:
Plan review fees pay for the cost of reviewing your plan and are payable at the time of permit application. Depending
on the scope of the project, additional plan review fees may be required at the time building plans are submitted.
These fees include but are not limited to: Grading and Drainage, Storm Water management, hillside, preservation,
Design Review, and Street Lighting. Submittal fees for these plans may be found in the Planning & Development
Department Fee Schedule
1. The Building Plan Review Fee is 80% of the building permit fee which is based on the total value of work (labor
and materials) being constructed; as determined by Table A of the Planning & Development Department Fee
Schedule.
2. Grading & Drainage Plan Review Fee (if a G&D permit is required). Information regarding grading and drainage
requirements may be obtained from the Development Assistance Center at (602) 262-6109.
PERMIT FEES:
Pursuant to the current Planning & Development Department Fee Schedule. Permit fees pay for inspection services
and are payable at the time a permit is issued.

1. Water Meter Fee (if a new or larger water meter is required) is available from the Civil Permits/Water Services
counter.
2. Water/Sewer Tap Fee (if a new or larger water or sewer tap is needed to serve the lot) is available from the Civil
Permits/Water Services counter.

TRT/DOC/00082
WATER AND SEWER DEVELOPMENT OCCUPATIONAL FEES (DOF):
Water and sewer development occupational fees are fees assessed to cover infrastructure cost of service mains and
treatment plants throughout the city.
The Phoenix City Code, Sec. 19A-1.1 states, “The purpose of the fee imposed by this chapter is to reimburse the City
for costs resulting from connection of residential development to the City sanitary sewer system which increases the
amount of water or sewage discharged into said system thereby adding to the burden on existing public facilities, and
contributing to the need for future capital expansion or enlargement of the City sanitary sewer system.” (Ord. No. G-
2536, 1.)
1. Generally, a DOF fee for Water is assessed to every new residence, new water services for existing residences
not previously connected to city water, and work that would increase water fixture units and require a larger
water tap size.
2. Generally, a DOF fee for Sewer is assessed to every new residence, to new sewer connections for existing
residences previously on septic systems and work that would increase water fixture units and require a larger
water tap size. There may be other circumstances that will require payment of DOF fees.
WATER RESOURCE ACQUISITION (WRA) FEES:
Water Resource Acquisition (WRA) Fees are development impact fees required to pay for additional water supplies
needed to support new development within the City of Phoenix. The fees, effective since April 1, 2001, cover the
capital cost of purchasing and transporting new water supplies to city water treatment plants. The fees are assessed
based upon meter size and property location.
IMPACT FEES:
Impact Fees may be assessed in certain outlying areas to cover City costs for extending infrastructure to these
undeveloped areas of the City. P&D staff can identify if your property is subject to impact fees or not, and if so, what
those fees will be.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
Some properties are subject to special conditions which can affect development requirements and/or the type of
information required to be submitted for building permit approval.
LEGAL BUILDING LOT:
Building permits can only be issued for legal building lots which have been created by a city-approved subdivision or
lot division process, and which comply with zoning ordinance requirements for lot size and frontage.
If you are unsure of the legal constraints that may impact your ability to build on your lot, contact the P&D Site
