The ADOA Building System was established concurrent with those of the Arizona Board of Regents' and the Arizona Department of Transportation's Building Systems. Each of these building systems is responsible for computing building renewal needs for each fiscal year according to a renewal formula selected by the Joint Committee on Capital Review and for allocating building renewal monies appropriated to agencies within each of these three building systems. The ADOA Building System is the largest of the three and includes buildings owned by multiple agencies, whose structures appear in this annual inventory.

ADOA revises its building system inventory each year to include structure acquisitions and deletions as reported by building system agencies, escalations or de-escalations of structure replacement values, and two fiscal years of forecasted building renewal requirements for capital funding consideration. If available, the inventory also lists a structure's construction class, year of construction, fire suppression/sprinkler system status, occupancy category, and other allied information.

The building inventory is utilized by a variety of entities, including State Risk Management, the State Fire Marshal, the Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting, and the Arizona State Legislature's Joint Legislative Budget Committee.

The Director of the Arizona Department of Administration provides an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature on the status of the state’s human resources and the operation of the state human resources system. The report includes information on the following:

• The number of employees affected by and reasons for turnover within state service.
• Information concerning employee compensation during the preceding year.
• Overtime pay requirements of all state agencies.
• Other information as determined by the Director.

Every September, the Arizona Department of Administration provides an Advisory Recommendation to the Governor and the Legislature. This document provides an analysis of the state's current compensation levels compared to other public and private sector employers, and a review of the critical factors that must be considered when reviewing compensation strategies. These factors include turnover rates, retirement projections, economic forecasts, and projected market movement. The report concludes with a recommendation to the salary plan for employees in state service.
