City right-of-way: permit needed for a porta potty on the street in November 2026?

Hector V.asked Nov 1, 20260 viewsRules, Permits & ADA Special event permit Right of way Health department City permit Standard unit

We're starting a commercial remodel in downtown Phoenix next month. The site has zero space on the property for a portable toilet. I need to place one standard unit on the street right-of-way for a crew of 15, Monday to Friday, six weeks. The ground is asphalt, and a vacuum truck can reach the spot from the curb lane. I know OSHA 1926.51 requires one toilet for 20 or fewer workers, but I'm unsure about city permits for right-of-way placement. Does Phoenix require a permit for a porta potty on the street in November 2026? Who issues it, and how long does it take?

Superintendent on commercial jobs in the Valley for 18 years. I order the units, sign the service tickets and take the heat when the crew complains about heat, smell or a unit that blew over.
