Around Flagstaff, start with the city hall / municipal clerk, then city vs. county rules if you are outside municipal limits. Do not assume a Glendale metro parks approval covers a Flagstaff ceremony. Arizona State Parks typically require a special-use request for formal ceremonies. Desert public lands managed by BLM or USFS may have separate rules. City preserve systems (Phoenix, Tucson) are tightly managed.
