Marana adopts the International Residential Code requiring smoke alarms in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of a dwelling. Carbon monoxide detectors required where fuel-burning appliances or attached garages exist.
The Town of Marana adopts the International Residential Code (IRC) through its building code adoption ordinance, which requires hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms with battery backup in every bedroom, in the hallway outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home including the basement. Carbon monoxide detectors are required in dwellings with fuel-burning appliances (gas furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces) or attached garages. New construction and remodel projects requiring building permits must comply with current code at time of permit. Existing homes should maintain working alarms per manufacturer recommendations, typically replacing units every 10 years. Northwest Fire District conducts fire-safety education and may provide free smoke alarm installation for qualifying residents.
Building code violations at time of inspection. Non-compliant rental properties may face code enforcement action.
