Permits
Scheduled Software Upgrade Impacts to Services on September 27 and 28, 2023: Please be advised that beginning at 3pm on Wednesday, September 27 and ALL DAY on Thursday, September 28 the City’s permitting software (www.prescottpermits.com) will be undergoing a scheduled upgrade and will be completely unavailable. During this time, City Staff will also be unable to perform inspections, complete reviews, or answer questions pertaining to permit or project status. We ask that customers please plan ahead by scheduling inspections, paying fees, and engaging our Permit Center services around those times. Thank you for your patience!
Community Development is excited to announce Plan Review Wednesdays!
Templated after the County’s successful initiative, plan review staff within the City of Prescott permit center will be dedicated solely to uninterrupted plan review. In order to serve our customers more expeditiously, plan reviewers for Building Safety, Planning, Fire, and Public Works will be unavailable to customers and the general public every Wednesday.
Please note: Inspections will not be impacted by this policy change, and the administrative and leadership teams will still be available for urgent issues.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Community Development Department at 928.777.1405.
