Do I need a permit for addition or structural alteration in Patagonia?

Permit required

Yes. In Arizona, addition or structural alteration generally requires a permit, and Patagonia is no exception.

Additions that change the building footprint require full plan review and typically involve zoning, setback, and structural review; scope and submittal lists vary by the city or county code edition adopted. Owner-builders acting under ARS 32-1121 may perform work on a home they occupy, but selling or renting it within one year is prima facie evidence it was built for sale, which removes the exemption.
