Tucson Development Center Online Instructions

Tucson Development Center (TDC) Online portal is the City of Tucson’s platform for permit applications. From start to finish you can submit permit applications, track progress with email updates and a personal dashboard, pay review and permitting fees, schedule your inspections, and save templates for projects you do often. Our goal is to guide you through a straightforward process, ensuring every project meets code requirements and supports a safe, well-planned city. 

For general inquiries or information, email PDSDInquiries@tucsonaz.gov or call (520) 791-5550.

Not sure where to begin? Check our Do I Need a Permit? (Exemptions) page to see whether your your project requires a permit. Prefer a step-by-step guide? The TDC Online Navigator, available on TDC Online, asks a brief series of questions to help you choose the permit(s) your project needs.
