Know the clock.

Qualifying work or inspection history

Phoenix needs evidence of actual construction progress.

02 / YOUR ESTIMATE

Your timeline

Enter your permit details.

WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW

A date is not an official permit status.

We do not have access to your city's live permit or inspection system. A failed inspection, incomplete paperwork, an official extension, stopped work or a closed permit can change the answer. For an expiring permit, verify the exact deadline and whether work is authorised directly with the municipal permit office.
