New Planning and Permitting Portal is Coming Soon
Starting in January 2026, Scottsdale’s Planning and Development customers will begin using a new online portal for all projects requiring a permit.
Scottsdale SPUR (Smart Planning, Use and Regulations), developed by Tyler Technologies, will provide customers with a user-friendly interface in which to submit development requests, plans, payments and other documents for city processing.
Within the portal, customers will:
- Submit project applications
- Submit plans and construction documents
- Pay fees
- Monitor project milestones
- Receive permits
- Schedule inspections
- View records
Behind the scenes, the new platform combines the permitting functions from various city departments and disciplines into one streamlined system.
Within the portal, city staff will:
- Review submitted applications, plans, and documents
- Note redlines
- Approve plans
- Process payments
- Issue permits
- Upload inspection notes
- Issue Certificates of Occupancy
- Manage records
Only new projects will be submitted through Scottsdale SPUR. Applications and projects that are already in the Planning and Development queue will continue through the legacy Community Development System (CDS).
Check back soon for user guides and more.
