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 (A.R.S. Title 11 for counties). Coconino County Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division, is the code enforcement agency and building official for all unincorporated areas of the county (areas outside Flagstaff, Page, Fredonia, Tusayan, and Williams, and outside the Coconino County portion of Sedona).As of this record's verification date (July 2026), the Coconino County Building Division's current adopted codes are: 2018 International Residential Code (IRC); 2018 International Building Code (IBC); 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); and 2017 National Electrical Code (NEC).

As of this record's date, the County has begun a public process toward adopting the 2024 ICC code suite and 2023 NEC — an open house was held March 23, 2026 at 2500 N. Fort Valley Rd. (Thomas Auditorium), and a slide deck covering the 2024 IECC, IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC and 2023 NEC changes was presented — but as of this record's lastVerified date that update had NOT yet been formally adopted.

Solar PV Permit — Self-Issue Residential Rooftop (Grid-Tied) and Residential Miscellaneous (All Other Solar)
VerifiedCoconino County offers a streamlined Self-Issue Building Permit for grid-tied, residential, roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) installations (excluding battery storage) performed by a licensed professional installer, bypassing full plan review. All other solar installations — ground-mount, battery storage, non-professional installer, properties in a Historic Preservation district or FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, or panel upgrades/derates — must use the Residential Miscellaneous permit category instead. Subject to the statewide baseline of A.R.S. § 9-468.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Self-Issue Solar eligibility (ALL must be met): Arizona-licensed contractor for PV installations; residential (single-family or duplex) rooftop installation only; structure supporting the PV system must be a legal, permitted, code-compliant structure; no battery storage; no ballasted or ground-mounted systems; not located within a Historic Preservation district or FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area; no existing PV or energy storage systems on the property; no panel upgrades or derating as part of this permit (those go through Residential Miscellaneous); PV system roof loading not to exceed 4 psf dead load; 400-amp maximum electrical service, single phase only; maximum 2 DC strings in parallel; one module per microinverter if using microinverters; only one module type; up to two inverter types for string inverters, up to one inverter type for microinverters

EV Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedCoconino County has no dedicated EV-charger/EVSE fee line item in its Table IV Electrical fee schedule (the same schedule that itemizes wiring, service equipment, and photovoltaic systems). Installing a Level 2 or DC fast EV charger's dedicated circuit is administered as a standard Electrical Permit, billed under the Table IV base issuance fee plus the applicable per-unit wiring or service-equipment fee, governed by the 2017 NEC as adopted by County Ordinance 2019-10. Re-verified 2026-07-20: re-confirmed coconino.az.gov/2390/Online-Permit-Applications is live (HTTP 200) and the underlying Building Permitting Fees schedule (effective 09/01/2021), Table IV, remains the county's real, current, published fee mechanism. No EV-specific line item exists, but the $50.00 base electrical permit fee plus the $0.035/sq ft wiring fee (or $45.00 service-equipment fee if a service upgrade is needed) are genuine, citable, currently-applicable governing figures per avenue 5 of this review, sufficient to upgrade this entry from partial to verified.

| Demolition of an existing building or manufactured home | Flat unit fee per Table IV, Building section | Coconino County Building Permitting Fees schedule (effective 09/01/2021), Table IV — the source PDF's exact dollar figure for this line item showed row/column ambiguity on text extraction (the same extraction difficulty independently flagged in the county's Tusayan jurisdiction file); the existence of a dedicated demolition unit-fee category is confirmed, but the exact current dollar amount should be reconfirmed directly against the live PDF or by phone (928-679-8850) before quoting a specific number. |
