Arizona Construction Compliance Requirements
Everything general contractors need to know about lien law, prevailing wage, insurance, and OSHA compliance in Arizona.
Mechanics Lien Law
Arizona requires a 20-day Preliminary Notice from subcontractors and suppliers to preserve lien rights under ARS 33-992.01. Mechanics liens must be recorded within 120 days of completion. Arizona uses statutory lien waiver forms effective since 2020.
Key Deadlines
Prevailing Wage Requirements
Arizona does not have a state prevailing wage law (repealed in 1984). Federal Davis-Bacon applies to federally funded projects only. No state certified payroll requirements beyond federal standards.
Insurance Requirements
Workers compensation required for all employers with 1+ employees. Minimum $1M general liability common for commercial construction. Arizona has a competitive private insurance market.
OSHA & Safety Compliance
Arizona operates a state OSHA plan through ADOSH (Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health). Covers both public and private sector. Standards generally mirror federal OSHA with state-specific enforcement.
