Utilities and permits in Scottsdale
Sewer main vs. lateral
Scottsdale is responsible for the sewer main; the customer maintains and repairs the lateral, meaning all piping from the main to the house, including the tap that joins them. Scottsdale Water can send a crew to help locate a backup: 480-312-5650.

If the main is the problem
When the backup is traced to the city's main line, the city makes the repair and processes property damage claims through its Risk Management office.

Repairs without a permit
Replacing drywall, plasterboard or paneling, flooring, cabinets and countertops, and re-roofing with the same material, can be done without a permit, according to the city's home improvement page.
Repairs that need a Minimum Permit
Water heater replacement, repairing broken water lines and sewer line repair need a Minimum Plumbing Permit, applied for in the Scottsdale SPUR portal. One Stop Shop: 480-312-7725.

Getting help with water damage in Scottsdale
Scottsdale had an estimated 243,006 residents in 2025. The city's main shut-off valve guidance is worth knowing before anything breaks: it says the property owner's cut-off valve sits beside the water meter box.
After a leak, the plumbing repair and its permit are one job and the drying is another. A restoration contractor can tell you which damaged materials have to come out and which can be dried in place.
