Customers submitting single-family residential applications, applying for PDD licenses or registrations should now create a new user account at ShapePHX.Phoenix.gov. Customers that have projects in both Release 1 and future releases will work out of both the old system (PDD Online and ProjectDox) and the SHAPE PHX portal. For a complete list of Release 1 items or for more information about the new system, please visit Planning and Development SHAPE PHX (phoenix.gov).
