Glendale Engineering FAQs

Which codes apply to commercial work in Glendale?
Glendale's current Building Codes page lists the 2024 IBC, IMC, IPC, and IECC. The electrical edition and complete local amendment package are not separately published there, so confirm both with Glendale Building Safety before design.
How are commercial plans submitted in Glendale?
The city directs non-listed project types to email submission at permits@glendaleaz.com, with a fillable application, combined discipline-plan PDF, and separate calculations, specifications, and reports. Solar, pool, sign/banner, and house projects use the linked project portals; tenant improvements should confirm use with Planning first.
Who provides Glendale electric, water, and sewer service?
APS generally serves Glendale electric territory, while Glendale Water Services handles municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater programs. Confirm the parcel's actual providers, capacity, and connection requirements; commercial backflow and non-residential wastewater rules may apply.
