Building permits in Douglas are issued by Development Services at City Hall, 425 E 10th Street. The city's construction FAQs say to apply through the City of Douglas Development Services Portal or in person at City Hall, and every application must include plans, the scope of work, and contractor information. Commercial projects (all business and multi-family structures) use the Commercial Building Permit Application and submit plans electronically. Staff check the application and fees, the departments review the plans, and the permit is issued once the invoice is paid; the building fee schedule also charges a non-refundable filing fee when plans are received. Schedule inspections by calling 520-417-7329 or emailing permits@douglasaz.gov. A permit expires if no work or inspection happens within 180 days. The city site does not link the portal, so ask Development Services how to submit online.
