What shapes a project in Phoenix
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
A large 1970s and 1980s housing stock
The 2020-2024 American Community Survey counted about 653,000 housing units in Phoenix, with a median year built of 1985. About 42 percent were built before 1980 and about 14 percent before 1960, and the 1970s alone account for about 19 percent. Homes of this age often need wiring, plumbing, windows and roofing updated during a remodel.
Mostly single-family, with a large apartment share
About 60 percent of Phoenix housing units are single-family detached homes, and about 26 percent are in buildings of five or more units. About 3 percent are mobile homes. Condo and townhome owners should expect association approval steps and shared-wall considerations.
2024 codes and historic review before submittal
Phoenix has enforced its 2024 building code since August 1, 2025. Its residential permit guide says projects in a historic preservation area need approval from the Historic Preservation office before the permit application is submitted, so check whether your address falls in one before drawings are final.
