What Is a Project Assessment Meeting?

A Project Assessment Meeting is an optional, early-stage review of a proposed development. It allows County staff and partner agencies to review your project and provide feedback on applicable regulations before you submit formal permit applications.

This process helps identify requirements prior to submitting permit applications reducing delays, redesigns, and unexpected costs later in the permitting process.

What You will Receive?

During a Project Assessment Meeting, County staff will review the application and site plan you submit to provide:

Identification of required permits and approvals
Preliminary zoning and development feedback
Known site or regulatory constraints
Required County and agency reviews
Guidance on what is needed for a complete permit submittal

This information is intended to help prepare a more complete and compliant permit application submittal

How to Request a Project Assessment

Submit the following items:

A completed Project Assessment Application
A site plan showing property boundaries, existing conditions, and proposed development

Email all application and site plan to: Contact.DDS@yumacountyaz.gov

Fee

The Project Assessment fee is $200
The Fee must be paid before the meeting is scheduled
After your Project Assessment meeting the $200 remains as a credit that may be applied once towards a related building permit or building plan review for the same project

Meeting Schedule and Format

Meetings are scheduled ten (10) business days after receiving a complete application, site plan and payment
Meetings are held on Wednesday, either virtually or in-person

Important Limitations

Project Assessments Meetings are intended to provide regulatory guidance, not development consulting or project approval.

Please note:

The County cannot advise on what land use is most profitable or whether a project will be approved
Feedback is based only on the project details submitted by the applicant
Any changes to the proposed project after the meeting may change requirements
Final compliance is determined during formal permit review
