RequiredKeep the exact version sent to recipients.
Certified-mail receipts
RequiredMatch each receipt or delivery attempt to the recipient worklist.
Attestation of Compliance
RequiredComplete the city form with the property, owner or designee, and notification information.

Receipt and notice are different records
The city attestation calls for mailing receipts and a copy of the Notice of Intent. Keep both in the property record.
Check Again at Renewal
Phoenix reminds owners and managers that new HOAs or registered neighborhood associations may exist when the permit is renewed. Run a fresh organization search instead of reusing an old recipient list without review.
Before You Submit
Recipient coverage is complete
Check adjacent, across-street, diagonal, same-floor, HOA, and neighborhood-association rules as applicable.
Every recipient has evidence
Confirm that the worklist, notice copy, and certified-mail receipt agree.
The attestation is notarized
