Welcome to the planning and permitting portal. From this page, Scottsdale Planning and Development customers will be able to initiate, manage, and view projects.
Please be aware that on Jan. 6, 2026, we transitioned to the new Scottsdale SPUR portal and options for viewing and managing projects changed. Information on these changes is outlined below.
Projects Initiated After Jan. 6, 2026
Starting in Jan. 2026, Scottsdale’s Planning and Development customers will use a new online portal, Scottdale SPUR, for all projects requiring a plan or permit. If your project was initiated after this date, please use the new portal to enter details relevant to your project.
Visit Scottsdale SPUR to learn more about this portal and view the user’s guide.
Note: After Jan. 6, you may use some of the links below to search for documents or reports from projects completed or underway.
Projects Initiated Before Jan. 6, 2026
If your project was initiated prior to Jan. 6, 2026, you may still use some e-services links listed below to complete your existing project or case. Please note that many of these items will be phased out as projects are completed or migrated to SPUR.
