Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes.
Where can I find information on wages and salaries for public workers?▼
Public-employee wages and salaries in Arizona are wide open under the **Arizona Public Records Law (A.R.S. § 39-121 et seq.)** — courts have repeatedly held that government salaries are presumptively public. Three best sources: (1) **Arizona Financial Transparency Portal** at https://openbooks.az.gov — official state portal published by the Arizona Department of Administration; searchable by agency, employee name, position, and fiscal year; covers the executive branch and most independent agencies. (2) **OpenTheBooks Arizona** at https://www.openthebooks.com/arizona-state-employees/ — independent, FOIA-built database of state and local Arizona salaries with year-over-year comparisons. (3) **AZ Data Central / Arizona Republic** at https://www.azcentral.com/pages/interactives/news/local/arizona-data/phoenix-area-tucson-city-salaries/ — covers city-level employees in Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Scottsdale, and most Maricopa/Pima cities; updated annually. (4) For a county-specific request not in those databases, file a written records request with the county Human Resources office under § 39-121. **Average state employee salary** in 2024 was about $60,791 across 118,737 records (OpenPayrolls). Federal employees (VA, Forest Service, BIA) on Arizona ground need a separate FOIA at https://www.foia.gov, not a state public-records request. Sources: AZ Open Books, OpenTheBooks, OpenPayrolls, AZ Republic Data Central.

Where can I find access to recorded high and low temperatures?▼
Recorded high and low temperatures for the Central, Arizona area (Graham County) are available from **NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)** at https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/climate-at-a-glance/county/mapping/. Pick Graham County, Arizona, and choose the variable (Tavg, Tmax, Tmin) and timeframe — NCEI publishes county-level data going back to **1895**. Graham County's annual average temperature runs around **57.9°F**, ~1.8°F warmer than the 1895–2025 baseline. **All-time records** for Central / Graham County area: highest ~117°F (recorded 1990s in lower-elevation Safford basin), lowest near -10°F (mountain elevations of Pinaleño Range, near Mt. Graham). Climate normals (1991–2020) for the closest official observation station — Safford Agricultural Center (NWS Cooperative Network) — show summer highs of 99–104°F and winter lows of 24–32°F at valley elevations. For current/recent observations and 7-day forecast, see NWS Phoenix's climate page at https://www.weather.gov/wrh/climate?wfo=psr. Daily data, monthly summaries, and annual extremes are also available via NCEI's Climate Data Online portal at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/. Sources: NOAA NCEI, NWS Phoenix, Climate at a Glance.
What's the source for arrest records in Arizona?▼
Arizona arrest information comes from the booking agency, with no statewide master list. **Five-source playbook**: (1) **County jail roster** for sheriff arrests and current bookings — MCSO https://www.mcso.org (Maricopa, 602-876-1011); Pima PCSD; Pinal https://www.pinal.gov/1636/Inmate-Search; Yavapai https://apps.yavapaiaz.gov/inmatesearch/; plus 11 other counties. Statewide aggregator (private) https://recentbookings.arizonaofficialrecords.com/. (2) **City PD blotter** for arrests inside city limits — Phoenix Police Adult Arrests Dashboard https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/police/crime-stats-data/crime-stats-maps.html/published/8g516L4Wc; bulk download at https://www.phoenixopendata.com/showcase/d_arrests; Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale all maintain similar logs. (3) **Court records** once charges file (24–72 hours after arrest) — Arizona Judicial Branch https://apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess/caselookup.aspx, all 15 counties. (4) **State prison**: AZ DOC https://corrections.az.gov/inmate-data-search. (5) **Personal authoritative criminal history**: AZ DPS Public Services Portal https://psp.azdps.gov — fingerprint-based Personal Review $22 first / $7 each additional. **For older or closed cases**, file a written A.R.S. § 39-121 records request directly to the originating agency. **For employment use**, FCRA-compliant background-check vendors (Checkr, Sterling, GoodHire) consolidate state, FBI, court, and county into a single report. Sources: AZ DPS, MCSO, Phoenix Police Open Data, AZ Judicial Branch, AZ DOC.
Where do I find business records in Maricopa?▼
Arizona business registrations are split between two state agencies, depending on entity type. (1) **Corporations, LLCs, partnerships, nonprofits** — registered with the **Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC)**, 1300 W Washington St, Phoenix AZ 85007, phone (602) 542-3026. Free public search at https://ecorp.azcc.gov/EntitySearch — returns status, formation date, statutory agent, principal address, officers/managers, annual reports, and document images. (2) **Trade names (DBAs), trademarks, sole proprietorships** — registered with the **Arizona Secretary of State**, 1700 W Washington St, Phoenix AZ 85007. Search at https://apps.azsos.gov/apps/tntp/se.html. (3) **Filed business documents** (Articles of Incorporation, mergers, amendments) at https://efiling.azcc.gov/public-records — image downloads free. (4) **Phoenix/Maricopa city-level business licenses** — City of Phoenix at https://www.phoenix.gov/finance/plt; Mesa at https://www.mesaaz.gov; each city issues its own privilege/transaction tax license. (5) **Statewide TPT (Transaction Privilege Tax) license** — Arizona Department of Revenue at https://aztaxes.gov; required for most retail/service businesses. **Tip**: when checking before doing business, run BOTH ACC and SOS — many DBAs aren't with ACC. Sources: AZ Corporation Commission, AZ Secretary of State, AZ Commerce Authority.
How do I look up a court case in Chandler?▼
Chandler court cases live in two systems depending on case type. (1) **Misdemeanors, traffic, civil violations, and city-ordinance cases** are at the **Chandler Municipal Court**, 200 E Chicago St, Chandler AZ 85225, phone (480) 782-4700. Free case lookup at https://www.chandleraz.gov/residents/chandler-municipal-court/find-my-case — search by name or case number. The Court Calendar Search at https://www.chandleraz.gov/residents/chandler-municipal-court/court-case-search shows all pending cases. (2) **Felonies, divorce, probate, civil over $10,000, and family** go to the **Maricopa County Superior Court** — search at https://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/index.asp (the official docket) or https://apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess/caselookup.aspx (statewide Arizona Judicial Branch portal). Justice Court (small claims, eviction, civil up to $10K) for Chandler residents is the **Kyrene Justice Court** at https://justicecourts.maricopa.gov/app/courtrecords/casesearch. **Sealed cases**, juvenile, and expunged records are not visible.
