Goodyear, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has no mandatory statewide building code for general construction — the state legislature does not adopt a single edition binding all municipalities; each Arizona city/town or county adopts and amends its own building code by ordinance (contrast with counties, which are directed by A.R.S. Title 11 to adopt at least the most recent edition or the immediately preceding edition of the ICC codes for unincorporated areas). The City of Goodyear operates its own Development Services / Building Safety Division and administers its own adopted codes and permitting program within city limits — it does not defer to Maricopa County.
