Full Breakdown
Goodyear City Code § 9-1-1(C) adopts the 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) by reference and amends its administrative sections so that permitting runs through IBC §§ 103-116 rather than the IPC's own Part 2. 1. 6 exempts spaces with an occupant load of 50 or fewer from providing drinking fountains, extending that exemption to mercantile uses with up to 100 occupants. 6 amendment). As with the other adopted technical codes, a plumbing permit applicant or violation recipient who disagrees with the Building Official's determination appeals to the Board of Appeals under IBC § 113, filing within 20 days of the decision, or three business days for an imminent-danger order, with reversal requiring at least three of five board votes.
Violations & Fines
Plumbing work performed without a permit or in violation of the adopted 2024 IPC is enforced as a building-code offense under § 9-5-1: a $50 to $2,500 fine for an individual, up to $20,000 for an enterprise, and up to six months' imprisonment, with each ten-day period of continued noncompliance treated as a new offense. The city may pursue civil code enforcement through the Goodyear Municipal Court as an alternative to criminal prosecution.
