Before you buy
Properties inside a City of Phoenix HP overlay district need Historic Preservation review (a Certificate of Appropriateness) for most exterior work, new construction and demolition; interior work is generally not reviewed. Confirm the specific parcel is inside the HP overlay and whether it is contributing. Phoenix requires short term rental permits under its own ordinance; state law limits how far cities can restrict STRs. Older homes: check for original electrical, cast iron or clay sewer laterals, and irrigation rights (SRP flood irrigation is common in central Phoenix historic neighborhoods). All of this is address specific.
