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. 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.
