Mixed picture. The 55/100 state average covers a wide spread: a few standout ZIP codes, a lot of middling ones. Competition runs about 0.4 businesses per ZIP. Location selection matters more here than in higher-scoring states.

Permit and licensing fees in Arizona average $2,263 per year across the cities we track. Tucson runs cheapest at $1,705; Phoenix tops out at $2,825. These are annual totals covering business license, health permit, and mobile vendor fees, pulled from municipal fee schedules — not estimates.
