WHAT TYPE OF REPAIR WORK REQUIRES A FLOODPLAIN USE PERMIT?
Flood damage repairs and other improvements are considered development regulated by the Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County. Development includes any changes or repairs to your home or a structure if it is located within the floodplain. This permit is required even if the repairs or development are within the original structure’s footprint.
Determine if your property is in the floodplain.
Call the Town at 928-683-2255 for information about the other building permits you may need to complete your repairs.
HOW DO I APPLY FOR A PERMIT?
