What to check in Arizona
Arizona has no statewide building code for private construction. The city or town issues permits inside its limits; outside them, the county does only where it has adopted zoning and a building code, and rural-zoned areas may be exempt.
Local codes and permits. An address inside an incorporated city or another local jurisdiction may be served by a separate building department.
