How long does a City of Phoenix residential permit take?

Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated

Short answer

Most Phoenix residential remodel permits route through the Phoenix PDD Online portal and clear plan-check in 2-6 weeks depending on scope. Simple kitchen or bath refreshes often use over-the-counter review. Additions, structural work, and ADUs run the longer 4-6 week cycle. HOA review runs in parallel and can add 2-8 weeks independent of the city.
