Phoenix — Ch. 22 Art. VI Property Maintenance § 22-426.8
Forms
Operative Text
The enforcement authority shall provide the forms for: Application for inspection and issuance of a certificate of occupancy; Certificate of occupancy; Notice of noncompliance; "As Is" affidavit.
Phoenix City Code Chapter 22, Article VI, Section 22-426.8 establishes that the designated enforcement authority is responsible for creating and supplying the official forms used in the property maintenance inspection and compliance process. These forms include the application for inspection, the certificate of occupancy itself, the notice of noncompliance, and the 'As Is' affidavit. The provision ensures that a standardized set of documents governs these transactions rather than leaving form design to individual parties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 22-426.8, compliant property operators obtain the required forms—such as the inspection application, certificate of occupancy, notice of noncompliance, and 'As Is' affidavit—directly from the enforcement authority rather than drafting their own versions. Using the officially provided forms helps ensure submissions are accepted without procedural delays. Operators generally confirm they are working from the current, authority-issued versions of each document before submitting any application or affidavit.

Section 22-426.8 means that the forms used in the inspection and occupancy certification process are standardized and issued by the enforcement authority, not created at a landlord's discretion. If a tenant receives a notice of noncompliance or an 'As Is' affidavit, they can verify that the document matches the official form provided under this provision. Tenants who have questions about whether proper forms were used may contact the Phoenix enforcement authority directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
