Maricopa County building permits, September 28–October 4, 2026

Public notice. Maricopa County’s public permit map service lists 184 building permits with an issue date from September 28, 2026, through October 4, 2026. The newest issue date in that set is October 2, 2026.

Of those 184 records, Building (Residential) leads with 171 rows, followed by Building (Commercial) (9), Grading and Infrastructure (2), and PND - Compliance Inspection (2). Those groups cover all 184. Residential building tags dominate the week — the kind of work that shows up as additions, remodels, and new houses across the Valley’s unincorporated pockets and county-reviewed sites.

A commercial slice of nine building permits still matters: storefronts, offices, and job-site shells move on a different inspection clock than a backyard remodel. Two grading-and-infrastructure rows and two PND compliance inspections are thin but real signals that earthwork and planned-development follow-through are still clearing the county desk.

Maricopa County is Arizona’s population center and the shared Notice Nearby hub for Peoria and Tempe morning permit notices. This pull is the countywide layer — not a city-only count — so readers in unincorporated areas and county-reviewed projects should treat it as the county’s own pulse, then check the city’s portal when the address sits inside a municipal boundary.

For neighbors watching housing turnover, heat-season renovations, and commercial build-outs along the Valley fringe, a week with 171 residential building rows against nine commercial ones is a clear residential-heavy mix. It does not forecast next month, and it does not name a street. It does say the county’s issued-permit file was busy on the housing side between September 28 and October 2.

Building permits are how the county records work that needs inspection. A countywide count of 184 issued rows in seven days is a usable weekly baseline for Maricopa readers who track scaffolding, dumpsters, and job-site noise without waiting for a city council summary.

Valley readers already see Peoria and Tempe on the same /az/maricopa hub. The countywide layer answers a different question: how busy was the county’s own issued file, including work that never touches a city permit desk. This week the answer was 184 rows, almost all residential building.

Grading and PND compliance rows are easy to skim past because they are only two each. Do not. Earthwork and planned-development follow-through are how unfinished sites become livable streets — even when the public summary will not name the subdivision.
