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 (A.R.S. Sections 9-462.01 and 9-463 et seq.). The Town of Pinetop-Lakeside independently adopts and administers its own Building Code (Town Code Chapter 15.04) through its Building & Safety Department (part of the Community Development Department); it does not defer permitting to Navajo County.
