Phone: 520-356-7854, email: skerlock@townofwinkelman.com. Office hours: Winkelman is the smallest incorporated town in Arizona (2020 Census population 296) and does not operate a dedicated Building Safety/Development Services department, unlike the City of Buckeye or the City of Globe. Per the 2024 Arizona Building Officials (AZBO) statewide directory, permit/code administration is handled directly through the Town Hall by the Town Clerk, Sylvia Kerlock (skerlock@townofwinkelman.com), rather than by a named Building Official or Building Inspector position. The Town's own website (winkelmanaz.gov) is a minimal six-page site (Home, About, Town Council, Town Budget, Meeting Minutes, Contact Us) with no dedicated Building/Permits/Planning & Zoning page, no published fee schedule, and no A.R.S. § 9-835 licensing-timeframe posting found as of this review (July 2026). Office days are Monday-Thursday per third-party town-hall directories; exact public office hours are not independently published on the Town's own site. Applicants should call 520-356-7854 or email the Town Clerk directly to initiate a permit request.. Official information: https://winkelmanaz.gov/.

Town of Winkelman, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code floor 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). Unlike the City of Buckeye or City of Globe, the Town of Winkelman does NOT run an independent, staffed Building Safety Department with its own recently-updated code ordinance; it is administered directly out of the Town Clerk's office at Town Hall. Source: Town of Winkelman official website (winkelmanaz.gov), which has no dedicated Building/Codes page; 2024 Arizona Building Officials (AZBO) statewide directory entry for Town of Winkelman.; Per the 2024 AZBO Directory (the same statewide industry directory independently cross-checked for the neighboring City of Globe file, where it was found to be stale and superseded by a 2024 city ordinance), Winkelman's listed adopted codes are the 2006 International Codes (I-Codes) and the 2002 National Electrical Code (NEC). UNLIKE Globe, this research found NO subsequent Winkelman town ordinance, resolution, or published code-update document anywhere (Town of Winkelman website, Town of Winkelman Council Documents page, Arizona Memory Project archive, League of Arizona Cities and Towns records) that supersedes this 2006 I-Codes/2002 NEC listing. This 2006/2002 code-cycle citation should therefore be treated as the best-available but NOT independently re-confirmed-current figure — it could not be verified against a live Winkelman-specific ordinance text because no such published, hosted ordinance/code text (e.g., via Municode, CodePublishing, or the Town's own site) was found to exist for Winkelman as of July 2026. Source: 2024 Arizona Building Officials (AZBO) Directory, Town of Winkelman entry (206 Giffin Avenue, Clerk: Sylvia Kerlock). Re-checked 2026-07-23 against the newly-published 2026 AZBO Directory (azbo.us, live fetch) — the Winkelman entry is unchanged and still lists 2006 I-Codes/2002 NEC, meaning the same figure has now persisted across at least two directory editions (2024 and 2026); this makes it less likely to be a stale one-off data-entry error, but it is still an industry-directory listing, not a Winkelman-issued ordinance text, so it remains the best-available rather than an independently ordinance-confirmed figure.; No Winkelman-specific local amendments to the adopted I-Codes/NEC (climatic/geographic design criteria table, exempt-work list, fee schedule, or similar) were found published anywhere by the Town. This is consistent with a town of Winkelman's extremely small size (296 residents per the 2020 Census) and lack of a dedicated Building Safety Department, Building Official, or hosted code-of-ordinances platform.; Manufactured homes, mobile homes, and factory-built buildings are regulated directly by the State of Arizona (A.R.S. § 41-4001 et seq., Arizona Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety / Office of Manufactured Housing) for construction/installation standards statewide, independent of local code adoption; any Winkelman site-placement/foundation/utility-connection permit would be layered on top of the state's factory-built-structure standards, consistent with the pattern seen in every other AZ jurisdiction in this dataset. Source: A.R.S. § 41-4001 et seq.; Arizona Department of Housing, Office of Manufactured Housing.; The Town of Winkelman does maintain its own Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) city code (City Code: WM) with the Arizona Department of Revenue, including distinct Contracting-Prime (015), Contracting-Speculative Builders (016), and Contracting-Owner Builder (037) business codes, each taxed at 3.50% — confirming Winkelman functions as an independent municipal taxing/licensing authority for construction activity even though it lacks a dedicated building department.

No dedicated solar/PV permit category, application form, or fee schedule is published by the Town of Winkelman. Permitting (if required at all) runs entirely through the Town Clerk at Town Hall on a case-by-case basis. Under Arizona's statewide A.R.S. § 9-468, any fee the Town does charge for a solar construction permit may not exceed its actual cost of issuance.
