Licenses & Permits

The Clerk of the Board provides application processing and assistance for statutorily mandated procedures to applicants and/or requestors so they can conduct or maintain community related activities.

Maricopa County does not issue a General Business license. The Arizona Department of Revenue provides a Licensing Guide for obtaining business licenses in Arizona.


Certain Food establishment and activity permits are obtained through Maricopa County Environmental Services.
