This is PermitBase’s published record for Holbrook as of 2026-07-06. It has since been superseded — see the current record. A historical record reflects what PermitBase had verified at that time; it may not capture a real-world change the jurisdiction had made but PermitBase had not yet verified, and it includes any errors we later corrected.

Codes adopted
Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code floor for general construction — code adoption is a per-city/county authority under state enabling statutes (e.g., A.R.S. Title 9 for municipalities). The City of Holbrook runs its own Building Department, independent of Navajo County, and issues its own construction permits within city limits. Source: City of Holbrook Building Department page (holbrookaz.gov/departments/building-department/).The City of Holbrook's own published Fee Schedule (effective September 1, 2025) states that Building Permit Fees (Commercial/Residential/New/Remodel/Accessory Building) and the Residential Solar System Fee are calculated 'based on IBC/UBC Building Data-IRC 2018 Charts and Formulas,' confirming the 2018 edition of the ICC family of codes (International Building Code / International Residential Code) is the City's current operative code basis for permit valuation as of the fee schedule's effective date. Source: City of Holbrook Fee Schedule, effective September 1, 2025 (Section 2-1, Section 2-3).The City's Chapter 5 (Building and Construction) of the Holbrook City Code, hosted on Municode Library, is the presumed formal adoption vehicle for the specific ICC code titles (IBC, IRC, IMC, IPC, IFGC, NEC) and any local amendments, but the underlying ordinance text could not be directly retrieved: Municode's platform is a JavaScript single-page application that returns only an empty page shell to automated/non-browser HTTP requests (repeatedly confirmed via direct fetch and via a realistic desktop browser User-Agent), its authenticated content API returned HTTP 401 to unauthenticated requests, and no Wayback Machine snapshot of the rendered chapter (nodeId=CH5BUCO) exists. The City's own live codification history shows the most recent full recodification was Ordinance No. 25-09 (enacted December 10, 2025), with subsequently identified amendments limited to Chapter 6 (Planning and Zoning) and Chapter 3 (Public Health and Safety/animal control) — no Chapter 5 (Building and Construction) amendment was identified in that update cycle, consistent with the Fee Schedule's 2018 IRC reference remaining current through at least September 2025. Source: Holbrook, AZ Municode Library index (library.municode.com/az/holbrook/codes/city_code) and City of Holbrook City Code page (holbrookaz.gov/government/city-code/).Because the specific IBC/IRC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/NEC edition years and any City-specific local amendments (climatic/geographic design criteria, wind speed, seismic design category, mandatory-AC-style provisions, permit exemptions, etc.) could not be independently confirmed beyond the Fee Schedule's '2018 IRC' reference, this file does not assert specific section-by-section code adoption citations of the kind available for larger Arizona cities with fully browser-accessible ordinance text (e.g., Buckeye). As of July 2026, the City of Holbrook does not appear to publish a standalone 'Building and Life Safety Codes Update' document of the kind larger cities publish; the only verifiable, City-sourced statement of code edition is the Fee Schedule's 2018 IRC/IBC reference. For binding, section-level code text, contact the Building Department directly at 928-524-6225 or rtissaw@holbrookaz.gov, or consult the Holbrook City Code, Chapter 5 (Building and Construction) directly via library.municode.com/az/holbrook/codes/city_code?nodeId=CH5BUCO using a JavaScript-capable browser.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; the City of Holbrook's own building permit process governs on-site placement, foundation/tie-down, and zoning compliance, consistent with statewide practice for Arizona home-rule municipalities. Source: Arizona Department of Fire, Building and Life Safety Office of Manufactured Housing statutory authority (A.R.S. § 41-4001 et seq.); City of Holbrook Building Department confirms it issues its own local permits independent of the County.
