At-Risk Grading Permit
An at-risk grading permit can be requested to start grading work prior to construction permit issuance. No work other than grading can be done with an at-risk grading permit. At-risk grading permits require approval by Development Services, ADEQ NOI and a County Dust Control permit. There is no fee for an at-risk grading permit. Apply online through DIMES.
Dust Control Permits
Maricopa County Air Quality requires a dust control permit on all jobsites that disturb more than 1/10 acre (4,356 sq. ft.) of soil. The area of disturbance includes stockpiles, storage and equipment yards.
Demolition Permit
Demolition permits are required for the demolition of any commercial, residential structures, and inground spas & swimming pools when not in conjunction with new construction. A finalized demo permit removes the improvement from property records. Note: structures under 200 s.f. with no utilities or electricity do not require a demolition permit.
