City of St. Johns, Arizona has adopted: City Code § 3-2-8 (Building Official) provides that 'The City Manager may designate or employ one or more officers and/or employees of the City of St. Johns to act as the Building Official... to implement the provisions of the City of St. Johns Building Code and/or Uniform Code For The Abatement Of Dangerous Buildings' — confirming the City enforces its own locally-adopted Building Code, but the compiled City Code text (2014 codification, Rev. 2014.1, amended through 1-13-21) does not reprint that code's specific edition/year. The City Code's own ordinance-amendment index lists a '2003 Building Code adoption' entry (p. 121 of the printed code) as the most recent building-code-adoption ordinance identifiable in the compiled document; the underlying ordinance text itself was not retrievable in the compiled City Code docx obtained for this record.; The City's Zoning Ordinance (PZ-Code-1.pdf, 'Final Revised Zoning Ordinance of the City of St. Johns') references 'Uniform Building Code' (UBC) standards in at least two places (factory-built/modular building construction; pressure-treated wood post standards) — UBC is the code family the International Building Code (IBC) nationally superseded by the mid-2000s. This may be a stale cross-reference rather than confirmation that UBC (rather than a current IBC edition) is presently enforced.; The City's Rates, Charges and Fees Schedule (approved through 10/11/2023) ties commercial building permit fees to 'the most recent Building Valuation Data as published semiannually by the International Code Council,' which confirms the City currently operates within the ICC/International Code family for fee-calculation purposes, even though no specific IBC/IRC/IECC/IMC/IPC/NEC edition year is stated anywhere in the City Code, Zoning Ordinance, or Fee Schedule as retrieved.; No dedicated 'Codes Adopted' or 'Current Codes' page (of the kind some Arizona municipalities publish) exists on the City's current official website (stjohnsaz.gov) as of 2026-07-19 — confirmed by reviewing the site's full sitemap and department navigation, which lists no Building/Development Services department at all (see tipsAndGotchas).. Local amendments apply — see the City of St. Johns overview page for the full list.

No. The City has no dedicated EV-charger permit or fee line, and in fact has no separate electrical-permit fee line of any kind. An EV charger installation is billed through the City's general Building Permit mechanism — the $50.00 flat Addition/Remodel Permit for work on an existing building, confirmed as the only applicable fee line after a full-text review of the Rates, Charges and Fees Schedule — the same way solar PV installations are handled in this jurisdiction.
