How to look up a building permit in Arizona

Pick the city where the property sits — permits are filed with the local building department, not the state. Use the table above for any of the 10 Arizona cities we cover.
Search by address or contractor. Each city page lists recent permits with the address, permit type, declared value, status and (where the city publishes it) the contractor of record.
Open a record to review the details that its public source provides. Available fields can include a project description, owner or applicant information, contractor details, and related permit history.

PermitGrab refreshes Arizona permit data as official municipal sources publish it; the table shows the newest source date we hold for each city. If your city isn't listed, the building department may not publish a public data feed yet.

Contractors: turn these permits into leads.

Access current permit records in covered Arizona markets, plus contractor, owner, and project fields where the public source provides them. Source dates and available fields vary by city.
