Codes adopted

Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code for general construction — code adoption is a per-jurisdiction (city/town/county) authority under state enabling statutes (A.R.S. § 9-802 for municipal adoption by reference). The City of Globe independently adopts and administers its own construction codes through its Building Safety Department; it does not defer to Gila County for permitting within city limits.

EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit

Verified

The City of Globe Fee Schedule (Resolution No. 1904, Exhibit A, 2025 Fee Schedule, effective 4/22/2025) has no dedicated 'EV charger,' 'EVSE,' or 'electric vehicle charging' line item -- confirmed by a direct text search of the current adopted fee schedule PDF, which contains no such entry (its only 'vehicle' hit is an unrelated Fire Department 'Vehicle Storage' fee). Unlike Solar Photovoltaic Systems, which has its own dedicated fee category, a Level 2 (240V) EV charger circuit is permitted and billed as ordinary residential or commercial electrical work under the City's standard Over-The-Counter (OTC) electrical fee items or the Stand-Alone Electrical Permit (valuation-based) process, depending on scope.

If the EV charger is added as a new dedicated circuit to an existing panel with spare capacity, this is billed as an OTC 'Additional Circuits' permit
If a new sub-panel is required to feed the charger, this is billed as an OTC 'Sub Panel Wiring' permit instead
If the installation requires a full electrical service upgrade to support the charger's amperage draw, this is billed as a Stand-Alone Electrical Permit (10% of the Building Permit Fee Table 1-A valuation-based fee, plus a $30 administrative fee) rather than a flat OTC fee

Fire Sprinkler & Fire Alarm System Permit

Verified

The City of Globe has its own municipal Fire Department (19 career firefighters plus reserves, led by Fire Chief Gary Robinson and Fire Marshal Tom Murtha) rather than relying on a rural fire district, and administers fire protection system permitting directly. Fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems (together with fire pumps, standpipes, hydrant flow tests, fire line/civil work, and kitchen hood systems) are reviewed by the Fire Marshal through the same CitizenServe portal used for Building permits, under the 2021 International Fire Code as locally amended by Ordinance No. 889. The City of Globe Fee Schedule Resolution No. 1904, Exhibit A has NO dedicated 'fire sprinkler' or 'fire alarm' line item — confirmed by a direct full-text search of the adopted fee schedule PDF, which contains no such entry. Fire protection system work is instead billed under the same general Permit Valuation Fee sliding scale used for other Stand-Alone permits, plus the general hourly Plan Review and Inspection fees; a single combined slug is used here because Globe does not treat sprinkler and alarm systems as separately billed permit products.

Certificate of Occupancy (including Change of Use)

Verified

Globe's CitizenServe portal and Fee Schedule list 'Certificate of Occupancy' and 'Temporary CO' as distinct permit application types, issued by the Building Safety Department (Building sign-off) together with the Fire Department (Fire sign-off), required before a building or portion of a building may be occupied, or before an existing building's occupancy classification or use is changed, under the City's adopted 2021 International Building Code (Section 111) and International Existing Building Code (Change of Occupancy provisions), as amended by Ordinance No. 889. Globe has NO separately named 'Change of Use' or 'Change of Occupancy' permit product in its CitizenServe portal or fee schedule — confirmed via the City's own published permit-category list and a full-text search of Resolution 1904 — so a change in occupancy classification or tenant use of an existing building is processed through this same Certificate of Occupancy application and review (plus whatever Building/Stand-Alone permit review is separately triggered for any tenant-improvement work the new use requires).
