What is Administrative Appeal Form – Pima County, AZ?
The Administrative Appeal Form is the Pima County form, titled Oversize/Overweight Special Permit Administrative Appeal Application Form, used to appeal a special permit denial, revocation or confiscation, or a permit condition.
The permit it concerns is the Oversize/Overweight Special Permit. According to the county's special permit page, vehicles that exceed 8.5 feet in width, 13.5 feet in height, or 80,000 lbs. are required to obtain that permit from Pima County Development Services. The appeal form is printed under the heading of the Pima County Department of Transportation, 201 N. Stone Avenue, Tucson, Arizona 85701-1207.
The form is short. It asks for the date, the permit applicant, the permit number and the action being appealed, which is one of three choices: Special Permit Denial, Special Permit Revocation/Confiscation or Challenge to Special Permit Condition. If you challenge a condition, you state which one. Every appeal must briefly state its basis, and the form closes with a certification, a signature and a printed name.
The form is not a permit application. The county page says permit applications are submitted through the portal at permits.pima.gov.
Who needs to file Administrative Appeal Form – Pima County, AZ?
The main group is the Special Permit Applicant whose Oversize/Overweight Special Permit was denied, was revoked or confiscated, or carries a condition the applicant wants to challenge.
A representative may complete the form too. In the certification above the signature line, the signer states that they are either the Special Permit Applicant or have legal authority to act on behalf of the Special Permit Applicant. Anyone signing without one of those two capacities cannot truthfully make that certification.
Conditions that decide whether the form fits your situation:
- You must be appealing one of the three actions printed on the form: a Special Permit Denial, a Special Permit Revocation/Confiscation or a Challenge to Special Permit Condition.
- You identify the permit by its permit number and by the name of the permit applicant.
- If you are challenging a condition, you must also state the condition being challenged.
Do not use this form to apply for a special permit. The county page says permit applications go through the portal at permits.pima.gov. The form also has nothing to do with real estate taxes.
When to file Administrative Appeal Form – Pima County, AZ
File the form after the county takes one of the three actions the form lists: it denies a special permit, revokes or confiscates one, or imposes a permit condition that you challenge. The form has a Date line for the day you complete it. It prints no deadline or filing window for an appeal and no processing time. Because no due date appears on the form, confirm timing with the department before you rely on any date; the contact numbers are under How to submit. The county's special permit page lists 520-724-9900 for questions about obtaining a special permit or the status of one.

- Leaving the basis of the appeal blank; the form asks every appeal to briefly state its basis.
- Choosing Challenge to Special Permit Condition without naming the condition being challenged.
- Submitting the form unsigned, or with the printed name missing below the signature.
- Signing without being the Special Permit Applicant or someone with legal authority to act for the applicant, as the certification requires.
- Using this form to apply for a special permit; the county page says applications are submitted through permits.pima.gov.
- Leaving out the permit number or the permit applicant's name, which identify the permit being appealed.
