Building, Zoning & Floodplain Administrator: Dr. Jim Johnson, PhD, CBO, CCI (jjohnson@huachucacityaz.gov, fax 520-456-2230). Huachuca City is a small home-rule town (population ~1,624 per U.S. Census) near Fort Huachuca that runs its OWN independent Building, Zoning & Floodplain Department and does NOT defer building permitting to Cochise County. Huachuca City Municipal Code Title 15, Buildings and Construction (on eCode360, custId HU4810) shows the Town has adopted and locally amended its own building, residential, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, existing building, and energy conservation codes since at least 1996-97, most recently via Ordinance 22-01 through 22-08 (2022), and the Town's own Building Official — not a County inspector — administers permits. The Town's online Forms & Applications page currently states all forms are 'temporarily unavailable online as the Town reviews and updates their content', so email hcgovforms@huachucacityaz.gov or call 520-456-1354 to obtain the current building permit application form.
