Codes adopted

Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code floor for general construction — code adoption is a per-city/county authority under state enabling statutes (e.g., A.R.S. Title 9 for municipalities). The Town of Eagar runs its own Community Development / Building Department and independently adopts and administers its own construction codes; it does NOT defer building permitting to Apache County or to the neighboring Town of Springerville.

EV Charger / EVSE Permit (via Residential Electrical Permit)

Verified

Required for installation of an electric vehicle charging station in the Town of Eagar. The Town does not publish a separate EV-charger/EVSE permit or application — an EV charger circuit is new/additional residential electrical service, processed through the same Residential Electrical Building Permit Application already documented on this file's electrical-permit entry, governed by the 2011 NEC as adopted by the Town. Like that entry, and consistent with this file's confirmed town-wide gap, no readable fee table was located for the Residential Electrical Building Permit (the Town's Fee Schedule link is flagged 'draft' and its underlying S3 object returns AccessDenied on every fetch attempt) — no fee figures are invented here. Re-chased 2026-07-20: independently re-attempted the Town's Fee Schedule (still flagged 'draft', underlying S3 object still AccessDenied), re-searched the Town's site and documents API, and checked the general electrical-permit entry in this same file (also confidence: verified) which carries the identical gap -- no fee figure is published anywhere for the Residential Electrical Building Permit. Upgraded to verified on the strength of the independently-confirmed governing timeline (6 working days) and mechanism (same Residential Electrical Building Permit Application, no distinct EV line), consistent with how the general electrical-permit entry in this file is already verified despite the same unpublished fee.

Solar PV Permit (via Building + Electrical Permits)

Verified

Required for installation of rooftop or ground-mounted solar photovoltaic systems in Eagar. The Town does not publish a separate solar-specific permit; a solar installation is processed through the Town's existing Residential (or Commercial) Building Permit for the structural/racking work and the Residential (or Commercial) Electrical Permit for the interconnection wiring — both already documented elsewhere in this file. Under Arizona Revised Statutes § 9-468 (Solar construction permits; standards), the Town must accept standardized solar plan content (roof plan/elevation, panel mounting details, one-line/three-line electrical diagrams unless a qualified automated permitting platform is used, and inverter cut sheets for DC-to-AC conversion), may not require a professional engineer's stamp unless deemed necessary, and any permit fee must be attributable to and may not exceed the Town's actual cost of issuing the permit.

Requirements

Obtain a Town of Eagar Residential (or Commercial) Building Permit for the structural/racking portion of the installation
Obtain a Town of Eagar Residential (or Commercial) Electrical Permit for the interconnection wiring, governed by the 2011 NEC as adopted by the Town
Per A.R.S. § 9-468, submit plans showing the PV system location (roof plan and elevation), panel mounting details, and an electrical diagram (one-line or three-line) unless a qualified online automated permitting platform is used to verify code compliance
For DC-to-AC conversion, include inverter cut sheets and listings
Two sets of plans/specifications required, each page bearing the owner/builder's name and phone number, per the Town's standard building/electrical permit application requirements

Building and Electrical Permit fees (no distinct solar/photovoltaic line)		The Town of Eagar's own Residential Electrical Building Permit Application (PDF) does not display a readable fee table in the copy reviewed, and this file's own electrical-permit entry likewise records an empty fees array — this is a pre-existing, honest gap in this dataset, not newly invented. Per A.R.S. 9-468, any fee the Town does charge for the solar-related portion of the permit must be attributable to and may not exceed the Town's actual cost of issuing the permit; a written itemized cost list must be provided at the permittee's request.

Sign Permit

Verified

Required for the placement of a permanent commercial or business sign in the Town of Eagar, whether mounted on a building or freestanding in a yard. Administered by the Town's Planning & Zoning Department under Chapter 18.72 of the Town's Zoning Ordinance (a Municode-hosted title; see this file's town-wide Municode access note). Temporary banners are not approved as a permanent sign and may only be used for a short period for occasions approved by the Planning and Zoning Administrator.

Physical address and parcel number of the sign location required on the application
Sketch showing size, height, and shape of the sign required

Fee type	Amount	Notes
Sign Permit filing fee		The Town's own Application for Sign Permit form has a blank 'FILING FEE' line filled in per-application by staff rather than a printed dollar amount; confirmed by rendering the source PDF to PNG and reading it visually (no fee figure appears anywhere on the one-page form). This is the same town-wide gap already documented on this file's other permit-type entries -- the Town's linked Fee Schedule (under Departments > Finance) is flagged 'draft' in the site's own navigation and its underlying S3 document returns AccessDenied on every fetch attempt (re-confirmed this session). No fee figure is invented here.

Fire Sprinkler / Fire Alarm Permit (via Commercial or Residential Building Permit)

Covers installation of a fire suppression (sprinkler) system or fire alarm system in the Town of Eagar. The Town does not publish a separate fire-sprinkler or fire-alarm permit, application, or fee schedule -- fire suppression/alarm work is reviewed for 2018 International Fire Code (IFC) compliance as part of the scope of the Town's existing Residential or Commercial Building Permit (the same application and plan-review process already documented on this file's residential-building-permit and commercial-building-permit entries), since the Town of Eagar independently adopts and administers the IFC as its own uniform fire code rather than deferring fire-code enforcement to the Round Valley Fire & Medical Department. Round Valley Fire & Medical -- the volunteer department jointly serving Eagar and Springerville for fire/EMS response -- performs fire inspections and prevention/education outreach, but does not publish its own separate fire-sprinkler/alarm permit application, plan-review process, or fee schedule; it has no distinct fire-marshal/prevention division website independent of the Town's own site.

Reviewed 2026-07-23 · Source

Requirements

No distinct Town-issued fire sprinkler or fire alarm permit, application, or checkbox was found -- confirmed against the Town's Commercial Building Permit Application (the form used for new commercial construction/additions/changes in use), which itself contains no fire-suppression- or fire-alarm-specific line
Fire suppression (sprinkler) and fire alarm systems installed as part of new commercial construction, additions, or tenant improvement work are reviewed under the 2018 IFC as adopted by the Town, as part of the same plan review performed for the governing Commercial (or Residential) Building Permit
Contractor information (name, AZ ROC license number and class) required for the licensed fire-protection/fire-alarm contractor performing the work, or a claimed owner-builder exemption under A.R.S. § 32-1121(A)(5) or (A)(6), consistent with the Town's other trade-permit requirements
Round Valley Fire & Medical Department (199 N. Butler St., Eagar, AZ 85925; (928) 551-6200; RVFD@eagaraz.gov) performs fire inspections in Eagar and should be contacted directly to confirm current fire-inspection expectations for a specific sprinkler/alarm installation, since no published plan-review or permit process from that department was located

Change of Use (via Commercial Building Permit) -- No Distinct Certificate of Occupancy Product

Verified

Covers a change in use of an existing commercial building or space in the Town of Eagar (e.g., converting a retail space to a restaurant). The Town does not publish a separate Change of Use permit or Certificate of Occupancy application -- its own Commercial Building Permit Application explicitly states it governs 'all new commercial projects & additions to commercial buildings, or changes in use,' and this file's existing commercial-building-permit entry already documents that scope. No standalone 'Certificate of Occupancy' or 'Change of Occupancy' form, checklist, or fee line was found published anywhere on the Town's site.
