Public Records Request

 

Please select, fill out and sign one (Commercial or Non-Commercial) of the attached Public Records Reproduction Request Forms and return it to PDEQ.  If you are requesting records for non-commercial purposes, you must also fill out and sign the attached Verified Statement for your request to be processed.  Although PDEQ is required to fulfill all reasonable public records requests under State law, requests can take up to two weeks to be processed depending on the complexity of the search and the volume of records to be reproduced.  Requests for multiple property searches will have a longer turn around time and may be submitted with one request form, an attached list of addresses or parcel numbers.  Commercial requests with a list of properties attached will be charged the commercial fee on a per property basis.  All requests are processed in the order that they are received.  The definition of commercial purposes, associated public records information from the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) §39-121.03, and a PDEQ reproduction fee schedule are also attached to advise you of the reproduction costs that you will incur.

Be advised that PDEQ does not have jurisdiction over all environmental issues in Pima County and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) should also be contacted regarding any regulatory records they may have pertaining to a parcel. The toll free number for ADEQ in Phoenix is 1-800-234-5677 or 602-771-4380. Please feel free to contact PDEQ with any questions or comments you may have.

NON-COMMERCIAL

Upon receipt of the request form, PDEQ staff will locate the record(s) and provide the requestor with an invoice of any reproduction costs to be incurred.  Records will not be released until payment is received by PDEQ. Once payment is received, the record will be emailed, faxed, mailed, or picked up at the PDEQ office per your request.

COMMERCIAL

Upon receipt of the request form and search fee payment, PDEQ staff will locate the record(s) and contact you with the results and reproduction costs.  An invoice of the reproduction fees can be provided.  Records will not be released until payment is received by PDEQ.  Once payment is received, a letter detailing what information PDEQ has on the record(s) in question and copies of record(s) will be emailed, faxed, mailed, or picked up at the PDEQ office, per your request.

ADVISEMENT

PDEQ is a predominantly paperless department that utilizes multiple internal databases to house records.  PDEQ files and databases provide the most historically accurate and extensive search results when utilizing an in situ address.  PDEQ is able to provide records utilizing a parcel number, township/range/section, property owner name, business name, project number or other criteria, however, the record information provided will be limited to the particular search criteria requested.
