Annual Permit (Registration) in Kayenta Township, Arizona

A voluntary annual registration, authorized under Section 105.1.1 of the International Building Code, allowing a firm/organization regularly employing one or more qualified tradespersons to make alterations to approved electrical, gas, mechanical, and plumbing installations within a building's existing exterior walls throughout the year, without submitting plans for each individual alteration or being subject to individual building permits and field inspections. All work under the annual permit must be directed by a professional licensed engineer or architect, who submits monthly progress reports; the applicant must keep and maintain detailed alteration records accessible to the Building Official at all times.

The codified ordinance itself (Regulations for the Kayenta Township Building Codes, Chapter 11, Section 11-3, Subchapter 9, adopted under Resolution KTCD-28-13, Dec. 9, 2013) states: 'International Green Construction Code, 2010 edition, Public Version 2.0, as amended.'
