Permit Office (AHJ)
City of Tempe Community Development Department, Development Services / Building Safety
Maricopa County · Arizona
MEP, structural, civil, and energy-compliance engineering for Tempe projects — permitted through City of Tempe Community Development Department, Development Services / Building Safety and designed to the city's adopted codes and amendments.
Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design — engineered as one system, stamped by licensed professionals, and documented for fast permit approval.
Structural systems designed to the loads your state actually imposes — gravity, seismic, wind, and snow — with drawings built to get approved the first time.
Site engineering that clears local review — grading, drainage, and utilities designed to each jurisdiction's published standards from day one.
Energy compliance handled as engineering, not paperwork — documentation matched to the exact code edition your permitting jurisdiction enforces.
Tempe's local amendment package applies to the adopted codes, and the City's green-building guidance confirms Solar Ready provisions in the IECC. The same guidance describes EV-ready provisions as being pursued rather than confirming them as a universal adopted requirement; verify the ordinance and project-specific amendments with Building Safety.
Tempe has a substantial commercial base tied to Arizona State University and its research and innovation ecosystem, the Novus Innovation Corridor, technology and professional offices, biotech and advanced services, multifamily, retail, hospitality, and corridor redevelopment. These sectors create varied MEP, energy, tenant-improvement, and site-engineering demand.
Reviewed 2026-09-11. Code editions and local requirements can change; confirm the current requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before design.
Commercial applicants submit construction documents through the City's permitting and plan-review process, then proceed through code review, permit issuance, inspections, and closeout. The applicable code path and any project-specific submittal requirements should be confirmed with Building Safety before filing; an online portal name, review SLA, and self-certification eligibility were not verified.
