About PHX Guide

PHX Guide is a relocation guide for people and businesses moving to Phoenix and the rest of the Valley. We cover neighborhoods, housing, Arizona paperwork, desert living and the steps to set up a company in the state.

Moving to Phoenix brings things many newcomers have never dealt with: long stretches of summer heat, monsoon dust storms, emissions testing and a state sales tax system that works differently from most. We explain them in plain language and point you to the official sources that have the final word.

We are an independent site. We do not sell homes, moving services or business filings, and we do not rank companies. Rules and fees change, so always confirm the details with the agency in charge.
