How to Verify a Professional's License in Gilbert Town?

Professionals that wish to provide services to the more than 350,000 residents of Gilbert Town are required to obtain professional licenses from an appropriate licensing agency before doing so. These agencies include the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration, which licenses landscape architects, land surveyors, engineers, and seven other types of professionals, and the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, which oversees the licensing of professionals in the construction industry.

Accordingly, you can verify a professional's license by contacting the closest office of the licensing agency responsible that licenses and regulates the activities of the professional in question. For example, you can verify the licenses of professionals offering construction-related services in Gilbert Town by contacting the Phoenix office of the Arizona Registrar of Contractors at (602) 542-1525 or by utilizing this agency's license search portal.

Besides mandatory licensing requirements, Gilbert Town also has certain local regulations that professionals must comply with before offering their services to residents. For instance, before any professionals can undertake any construction jobs, these individuals must ensure that either they or their clients have obtained the relevant permits from the town's Department of Development Services (DDS). Inquiries on the process for obtaining these permits can be directed to the town's DDS at (480) 503-6700.

Do Gilbert Town Neighborhood Councils
Issue Permits?

The affairs of Gilbert Town are governed and supervised by the Mayor and Town Council. The Town Council comprises six representatives from neighborhoods across the Town, and they have the duty of working with the Mayor to address the issues affecting the Town whilst also generally overseeing the town's development. However, the Town Council does not issue home improvement and construction permits, and this task is performed by the Gilbert Town Department of Development Services.

While the Town Council does not issue construction permits, it continues to perform its governing functions to ensure the Town's safety and coordination. For instance, in August 2021, the Town Council voted against the private construction of a four-story building because it will exceed the safe height limit of the proposed construction area. Similarly, in September 2021, the Town Council approved contracts to assess the condition of certain pipelines in the town. It is reported that the assessment contract also includes the possibility of an agreement to rehabilitate any pipeline in failing condition.
