Pinal County, AZ Building Safety: Plumbing Permits (2026)

PCDSC § 6.05.030(A)(5) adopts the International Plumbing Code, 2018 Edition, published by the International Code Council, as Attachment No. 5 to the Pinal County building code, with county amendments attached as Exhibit E. A copy of the adopted text is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, at each Board district office, and in the Building Safety department library for public inspection, per § 6.05.030(B). Before a plumbing permit is issued, § 6.05.060 generally requires a compliance review number from the Department of Planning and Development Services, though the code exempts plumbing permits that involve no change of use or additional area affecting required setbacks.

Under § 6.05.070, the building official may require whatever application data is reasonably needed to confirm the proposed plumbing work complies with the adopted IPC and other applicable ordinances. The building official (also titled building safety director) is an exempt appointee of the county manager, approved by the Board of Supervisors under A.R.S. § 11-352(B)(8), and must maintain records of every plumbing permit application, issuance, and inspection under § 6.05.050(C).
