Is the Phoenix building department backed up?

Permit-filing volume is the best public proxy for permitting load: the more permits a building department takes in, the heavier its review queue. Phoenix, AZ logged 272 permits in the last 7 days versus 307 the week before — a 11.4% decrease, so intake is easing. This tracker refreshes weekly from official municipal feeds, so it reflects the current pace rather than a stale snapshot.
