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 Town of Florence Town Council adopted its own Technical Codes by reference (Town of Florence Code of Ordinances § 150.300, Exhibit A) and independently administers permitting through its Community Development Department / Building Safety Division; it does not defer to Pinal County for permitting within town limits.
