Codes adopted

Arizona has no statewide building code for non-state buildings; codes are adopted locally. According to the International Code Council, codes are adopted locally in Arizona and are predominantly the I-codes, with different cities and counties choosing their own editions and local amendments. The Arizona State Fire Code (adopting the 2018 IFC) applies only to state and county buildings, public and private schools, and non-residential occupancies in areas without a locally adopted fire code — it does not establish a statewide residential or commercial building code floor. Each city and county adopts its own code editions independently, resulting in different I-Code years and amendment sets across jurisdictions. There is no state-mandated minimum edition; enforcement is entirely local. Always confirm the adopted edition and any local amendments with the specific jurisdiction before submitting plans.

• 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 City of Winslow independently adopts and administers its own construction codes through its Community Development Department; it does not defer permitting to Navajo County.

• Fee-calculation basis is separately codified and uses OLDER code editions' valuation tables than the substantive codes above: the City of Winslow's Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges (Ordinance No. 637, as amended, current edition July 2026) calculates Building, Mechanical, and Plumbing permit fees using Table 1-A of the 1997 Uniform Building Code / 1997 Uniform Mechanical Code / 1997 Uniform Plumbing Code (each plus 10%), and Electrical permit fees using Table 3-A of the 1999 National Electrical Code (plus 10%) — this valuation-table-only reference is distinct from, and does not supersede, the substantive 2018 IBC/IRC/IMC/IPC/IFGC and 2017 NEC construction requirements adopted in Title 15. Source: City of Winslow Ordinance No. 637, Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges (July 2026), Schedule 3, Sections 3-1 through 3-4; Winslow Municipal Code §§ 15.04.040(C) 106.6, 15.04.040(D) 106.6.2, 15.04.040(E) 106.5.2 (each cross-referencing 'the fee schedule, as adopted in City of Winslow Ordinance Number 637').
• Manufactured/mobile homes and factory-built buildings: the City of Winslow Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges publishes dedicated permit fees for Mobile/Manufactured Home ($650/home, includes 3 inspections), Factory Built Building - Residential ($650/story), Factory Built Building - Commercial ($6.00/LF per story) and Classroom ($3.00/LF per story), each including 3 inspections; a 6-month permit extension is $100; Factory Built Building Special Use is $250 (1 inspection); Rehabilitation - Mobile Home is $49 (income below Area Median Income) or $306 (income at/above AMI), including 2 inspections; and Installation/Re-inspection/Additional not covered by permit is $175 each.

  →

• Fence Permit and Inspection

  A flat-fee zoning permit required for fence construction in the City of Winslow, administered by the Planning & Zoning Officer (a division of the Community Development Department) rather than under the building-permit valuation fee schedule.

  →

• Demolition Permit

  Required for demolition of a building or structure in the City of Winslow, falling under the Building Permit process (2018 IBC, as adopted and amended). The City publishes a dedicated Demolition Permit Fee, distinct from the general valuation-based Building Permit Fee, under Ordinance No. 637, Schedule 3, Section 3-5 (Miscellaneous Permit Fees).

• Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Permit

  Required for installation of rooftop residential or commercial solar photovoltaic systems in the City of Winslow. There is no dedicated solar/PV permit type or fee line item in City of Winslow Ordinance No. 637, Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges (July 2026) — confirmed by a full-text search of the 44-page fee schedule for 'solar,' 'photovoltaic,' and 'renewable,' which returned zero results. A solar installation is processed as a standard building permit (structural/racking) plus electrical permit (wiring/interconnection), billed under the same 1997 UBC Table 1-A / 1999 NEC Table 3-A valuation-based fee tables used for other construction, and is subject to Arizona's statewide solar construction permit statute (A.R.S. § 9-468).

  →

• EV Charger Installation Permit
