Arizona official-record workflow
Arizona Septic, Well & County Permit Research
Arizona onsite wastewater is statewide in rule but local in administration. Connect ADWR well evidence with the delegated county septic process and local planning/zoning records.
Decision path
Work from broad evidence to controlling evidence
- 01
Confirm county and planning jurisdiction
Check legal lot status, zoning/use, road standards, flood/wash overlays and manufactured-home or accessory-building rules.
- 02
Research the well registry and basin
Save the relevant well IDs, drilling dates and water-level/yield evidence and identify AMA/basin status.
- 03
Open the county onsite-wastewater process
ADEQ says all 15 counties issue permits on its behalf; confirm the county site investigation, design and authorization sequence.
- 04
Check access and washes
A legal easement can still be physically expensive if the route crosses steep grades, washes or drainage features.
- 05
Add wildfire and subsidence screening
Use state/federal mapping as early screening, then verify parcel-level road, insurance, engineering or geotechnical issues where the project depends on them.
