Lead paint testing in Anthem, AZ
Anthem’s homes date from the late 1990s onward, after the federal ban on lead-based paint in housing, so lead paint testing in Anthem seldom applies to the houses there. It matters when Anthem residents own, buy or fix up older property elsewhere.

When lead paint testing still matters for Anthem residents
Del Webb founded Anthem in 1999 as a master-planned community, and its initial build-out wrapped up in 2008. It’s unincorporated: a community council manages shared assets, three homeowners’ associations cover Parkside, Country Club and The Village, and the western part of the community is inside Phoenix city limits.
In the Census Bureau’s housing survey for 2020 to 2024, nearly every home in Anthem dates from 1990 or later. The New River area that wraps around Anthem is mostly newer housing too, with a small share from the 1970s or earlier.
A test is still worth booking if you own a pre-1978 rental in an older part of the Valley, are buying an older house, or plan to renovate an older building used for child care. The same goes for a nearby home that predates Anthem, if its build year is earlier than 1978.
What we test in Anthem
For Anthem residents we inspect older houses and rentals around the Phoenix area, test pre-1978 buildings before renovation, and take dust wipe samples to clear the work afterward. Soil sampling is available where an older building stands.

Anthem questions
Does my Anthem home need a lead paint test?
Almost certainly not. Anthem’s homes date from the late 1990s on, about twenty years after the 1978 federal ban, and the federal disclosure rule doesn’t cover homes built after 1977.
I live in Anthem and own an older rental in Phoenix. Can you test it?
Yes. Send the rental’s address and the year it was built. For a unit from before 1978, the report gives you facts to put in the tenant disclosure.
