New Planning and Permitting Portal Kicks Off Jan. 6, 2026
On Jan. 6, 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) 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 eServices portal
