Local homeowner guide

What changes in Fountain Hills?

For a Fountain Hills home project, confirm the permit type and whether zoning review applies, then submit through TOPPS. Contact water and sewer providers for the address, review Town landscaping resources before changing a yard, and choose among the five named parks and two trailheads using current information.

01 · Projects & permits

How do I submit a home permit application in Fountain Hills?

Fountain Hills uses TOPPS for online building applications, status updates and inspection scheduling. Start with the residential checklist and any specialized checklist matching your project, then ask Building Safety whether zoning review also applies; confirm Town jurisdiction and current forms before submitting.

Next step: Choose the relevant Town checklist and ask Building Safety whether zoning review applies before submitting in TOPPS.

02 · Utilities

Who do I call about water and sewer in Fountain Hills?

The Town utility directory lists EPCOR Water Company and Fountain Hills Sanitary District contacts. Confirm that each provider serves the exact address and ask about account or repair steps directly. The Town does not provide every service residents depend on; electric, gas and trash/recycling arrangements may be separate, so check current provider instructions before relying on a directory listing.

Next step: Contact EPCOR and the Sanitary District for address-level water and sewer questions; confirm other utilities separately.

03 · Home care

What should I check before changing landscaping in Fountain Hills?

The Town publishes low-water landscaping, seasonal garden and saguaro-preservation resources. Review them before removing plants, and ask Development Services whether grading, drainage or zoning review applies to the specific parcel; the information is guidance and does not approve a proposed change or promise a rebate.

Next step: Review the Town's low-water and saguaro resources, then ask Development Services about any review for the proposed parcel work.

04 · Things to do

Where can I find a park or trailhead in Fountain Hills?

The Town says its five developed parks are Fountain Park, Avenue Linear Park, Desert Vista Park, Golden Eagle Park and Four Peaks Park. It also identifies Golden Eagle and Adero Canyon as trailheads with access to the McDowell Mountains. Use the Parks page to check facilities, reservations and current access for the destination; no real-time trail conditions or event are established here.

Next step: Compare the Town's five parks and two trailheads, then check current access or reservation details before visiting.
