Peoria, AZ Building Safety: Building Inspections (2026)

1 of Peoria's amended Building Code makes every permitted job subject to inspection by the building official, and the permit applicant is responsible for keeping the work accessible and exposed until it is approved; neither the building official nor the City is liable for costs of uncovering work that was concealed too soon. The building official can also require a lot survey where existing corner markers aren't verifiable. 8 lays out when extra fees apply: requesting an inspection outside regular Development and Engineering Department hours (weekends, holidays) triggers an additional fee, and a re-inspection fee is assessed whenever the called-for portion of work isn't finished, corrections weren't made, approved plans aren't available on site, access isn't provided on the scheduled date, or the work deviates from approved plans without sign-off.

1: a rough-in inspection after all fixed metal parts are bonded but before any concrete or gunite is placed, then a final inspection before finish coating and before the pool is filled, which confirms motor and electrical bonding, backflow prevention on the nearest hose bibb, and installed pool barriers. 1 before any building can be used, except that one- and two-family homes only need final inspection approval plus a utility clearance rather than a formal certificate.
