The City of Safford takes building permit applications through the Building Permit button on the city home page, which opens the city's iWorQ online permit portal. A printable Building Permit Application for residential or commercial work is also posted on the Building Permits page. The form asks for the type of work (new, addition, alteration, demolition or pool), which permits you need (building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and others) and the valuation of the work. The city's form says review may take two to four weeks, inspection requests should be made 24 hours ahead, and a permit stays active only if an inspection is completed at least once every 180 days. Questions go to the Planning and Community Development Department at 928-432-4140.
