Colorado City, Arizona has 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 9). The Town of Colorado City independently adopted its own construction codes by ordinance (Ord. 2007-4, passed 7-16-2007) and runs its own Building Department; it does not defer permitting to Mohave County. Colorado City straddles the Arizona/Utah state line with its twin town Hildale, UT, but the Town of Colorado City, AZ Building Department independently administers building permitting for the Arizona side specifically — confirmed via the Town's own Chapter 150 Building Code ordinance and Building Department page, both of which describe a self-contained Town Building Official and permitting process with no reference to Hildale or a joint administration arrangement.
