Parker, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code for general construction — code adoption is a per-jurisdiction (town/city/county) authority under state enabling statutes (A.R.S. Title 9 for municipalities). The Town of Parker independently adopts and administers its own construction codes through its Community Development Department / Building Division; it does NOT defer to La Paz County for permitting within incorporated town limits. La Paz County separately runs its own Building and Safety Department for unincorporated areas of the county — the two are distinct code-administration regimes sharing the same 1112 Joshua Ave / Parker, AZ area but serving different jurisdictions.
