Springerville, 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 Springerville runs its own Planning & Zoning Department / Building Department and independently adopts and administers its own construction codes and fee schedule; it does NOT defer building permitting to Apache County or to the neighboring Town of Eagar — Springerville's own permit applications, fee schedule, and Municipal Code sections (e.g., Chapter 17.28 Walls and Fences, Chapter 17.88 Plan Review) are self-contained and administered entirely by Springerville's own Planning & Zoning/Building staff.
