...what does your ARM template look like? – Daniel Mann

What you're trying to achieve is referred to as a subscription level deployment. If you are trying to deploy this through a template via the portal I'm afraid you're out of luck. The deployment UI insists you specify a resource group to deploy in to which invalidates the API path routing when making the call to create your resource group.

To overcome this you'll need to use PowerShell or the Azure CLI.

Another issue with subscription level deployments is that you can't use the resourceGroup() function, so your template will need be adjusted.

Your template should be:

{
    "$schema":"https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2018-05-01/subscriptionDeploymentTemplate.json#",
    "contentVersion":"1.0.0.0",
    "parameters":{
        "customTags":{
            "type":"object",
            "defaultValue":{
                "Environment Name":"TRdev",
                "Environment Type":"Dev",
                "Product family":"RT"
            }
        },
        "rgName":{
            "type":"string",
            "defaultValue":"dev-rg",
            "metadata":{
                "description":"Name of the resourceGroup to create"
            }
        },
        "serverfarms_environment_sp_sku":{
            "defaultValue":"B1",
            "allowedValues":[
                "B1",
                "S1",

You can save this file to your local machine and deploy as follows.

PowerShell:

New-AzDeployment -TemplateFile '<path-to-template>' -Location 'West US'

Azure CLI:

az deployment create --template-file "<path-to-template>" --location "US West"

You will see a warning about upcoming breaking changes. Microsoft are introducing a mandatory parameter ScopeType to the PowerShell, and scope-type to the CLI with four possible values - ResourceGroup, Subscription, ManagementGroup and Tenant. In this instance, you would set ScopeType to Subscription, but you can see where Microsoft are going with the others.

I expect the portal template deployment UI will be updated soon.

Alternatively the ARM template can remain as is and have an additional step after to run just some simple powershell like:

Set-AzResourceGroup -Name "YOURRESOURCEGROUPNAME" -Tag @{Department="IT"}

This would allow you to maintain the current CI/CD structure.
