Holbrook, 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 (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.

No. 24-03, § 1 (adopted May 22, 2024). As codified (Supp. No. 2, Update 1, online content updated February 19, 2026; codified through Ordinance No. 25-09, enacted December 10, 2025), Article 5-2 adopts by reference: § 5-2-1 the 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings; § 5-2-2 the 2018 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix J (Grading) and Appendix K (Administrative Provisions — Mechanisms for Enforcement of NFPA 70 National Electrical Code); § 5-2-3 the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation; § 5-2-4 the 2017 edition of the National Electrical Code (NOT 2018 — this is the one code title in the chapter on an older edition year than the rest); § 5-2-5 the 2018 edition of the NFPA Fire Code; § 5-2-6 the 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); § 5-2-7 the 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC); § 5-2-8 the 2018 International Residential Plumbing Code (the codified section title, verbatim); and § 5-2-9 the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendices A, B, G, H, J, L, M, P, and Q. Chapter 5 also contains Article 5-1 'Permits and Fees' (§ 5-1-1: a building/construction permit is required whenever the cost of construction, remodeling, or improvement exceeds $1,000, excepting floor/wall-covering replacement, window replacement, roofing, and painting — Ordinance 10-11; § 5-1-4: permit fees are set from time to time by council resolution, i.e. the Fee Schedule) and Article 5-3 'Drainage and Retention Criteria' (stormwater/grading design criteria, unrelated to permit fees or code editions). No climatic/geographic design-criteria table (wind speed, seismic design category, etc.) or plan-review turnaround-time language exists anywhere in Chapter 5's text. Ordinances subsequent to 25-09 (No. 26-01 and No. 26-02, both adopted May 13, 2026) amend Chapter 6 and Chapter 3 respectively — neither touches Chapter 5, so the code editions above remain the most current.
