General building work permit checklist — Peoria, Arizona
Assembled from Peoria’s own published permit rules. Every line below is quoted from a city document and linked to it. Nothing here is generated, estimated, or inferred from another jurisdiction.
Do you need a permit?
Peoria requires a permit for general building work.
Peoria administers the International Codes as locally adopted and amended in the Peoria City Code; the city does not publish a consolidated plain-language exempt-work list on its Development Services pages, so the adopted IRC/IBC Section 105.2 exemptions govern as amended locally. Development Services should be asked to confirm any specific exemption before relying on it - Arizona cities routinely tighten the model-code thresholds for walls, pools and accessory structures.
