It’s been more than a decade since Maricopa saw the number of new home-building permits it racked up in September.
The total of 229 was due to builders coming into several subdivisions, with D.R. Horton leading the way. While topping 200 is an impressive feat and a sign of the housing comeback for Maricopa, it puts into perspective the city’s construction heyday.
“Since incorporation, Maricopa has seen ups and downs when it comes to the permitting and building of single-family homes,” said Nathan Steele, director of Economic and Community Development. “At the height of this was in 2004-2005.”
