Zoning Verification Letter Process

Property owners, lenders, or prospective buyers can obtain written confirmation of the zoning of a property or properties, the required development standards for that zoning district and if an intended use is permitted from the City of Phoenix Planning Department.

The following are required to process a Zoning Verification Letter:

1. Written request of information needing verification
2. Address of property
3. Legal description and Tax Parcel Number(s) (APN)
4. Parcel map with site delineated
5. Check for $215.00 made payable to the City of Phoenix. Requests will not be processed until a fee has been received. Please allow 15 business days to complete the request.
