Eagar, Arizona has 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.
