Concrete Slab Permit Requirements in Litchfield Park, AZ
ZIP 85340 carries the postal name Litchfield Park but the incorporated City of Litchfield Park is tiny (3.3 sq mi, ~6,847 pop), only about 20 percent of the ZIP's ~33,778 residents. The remainder is large unincorporated Maricopa County county islands (Planning & Development is the AHJ there) plus slivers of Goodyear and Buckeye, with the city's own FAQ confirming most 85340 addresses outside city limits get services from Maricopa County. This is a genuine multi-AHJ ZIP with no single dominant municipality, so the recommendation is to LEAVE IT UNMAPPED (accuracy over coverage); the best-guess primary AHJ recorded here is unincorporated Maricopa County. Both the City of Litchfield Park and Maricopa County have adopted the 2018 IRC.

When you don’t need a Concrete Slab permit
AZ (ZIP 85340), a small at-grade accessory concrete slab of 120 square feet or less (a walkway or equipment pad) is generally exempt from a building permit under the 2018 IRC. A slab that forms part of a building foundation or will support a structure requires a permit. Most 85340 addresses are unincorporated Maricopa County, where the Maricopa County Planning & Development Department is the authority; parcels inside the incorporated City of Litchfield Park city limits use the City of Litchfield Park instead, and small areas fall under Goodyear or Buckeye, so confirm which jurisdiction your parcel is in first. Call 811 before any excavation.
