For a Tempe home, use the official Permit Center for project records and payments, call ahead to change City water, sewer or solid-waste service, and request a water-efficiency consultation if irrigation or leaks are unclear. Town Lake paths offer a flexible local outing.

Where can I check a Tempe permit and pay safely?
Start with Tempe Building Safety and its Citizen Access route for permit applications and project status. The City warns that Building Safety and Planning permit payments are handled through its portal and that it does not request wire transfers. Confirm the property and scope with the Permit Center before paying or starting work.
Next step: Use the City Permit Center and status link; verify any payment request against the official portal.
How far ahead should I arrange Tempe City utility service?
Tempe handles start, transfer and stop requests for City water, sewer and solid waste by phone. Its current instructions call for at least 24 hours of advance notice and say service changes cannot be requested online. Confirm the exact address and service date rather than assuming the prior occupant’s account will transfer.
Next step: Call Tempe Customer Services before the move and keep the confirmed start date with your closing records.
Tempe offers free residential water-efficiency consultations that can review past usage, leaks and irrigation-controller settings. Collect recent bills and note when irrigation or pool equipment runs before requesting a visit. Confirm current eligibility and scheduling with Water Conservation; a consultation does not promise a repair or a lower bill.
Next step: Prepare usage and irrigation notes, then request a City water-efficiency consultation.
Where can I take a flexible walk at Tempe Town Lake?
Tempe describes paths along both sides of Town Lake with bridge connections at Mill Avenue and Rural Road. Use the City map for parking and drinking-water locations, then choose an out-and-back route or a bridge loop that fits the weather and group. Check current notices when an event could affect access.
Next step: Open the City paths map and check conditions before leaving for Town Lake.
Plan an out-and-back walk or mapped bridge connection.
