1. When do I need a building permit?

The answer to the question when do I not need a building permit is much shorter. Contrary to what many people think and hope, many activities that the homeowner handyman and his good friend might tackle as a weekend project require a permit. Please call the Building Safety Department, 382-2600, to ask if the project you are planning requires a permit. Remember to check with your Homeowner’s Association or your deed for requirements the Town of Marana does not enforce. Also please contact the Building Safety Department early in the planning process, you may need to prepare plans for review and the review process does take time.

2. Why do I need a building permit?

A building permit is to protect the life and safety of you, your family, and your guests. It provides protection in your home, the homes of others and in public and commercial buildings in which you and your family may go to school, shop or be entertained.
