Adopted I-Codes:
Codes are adopted locally. Arizona Department of Health Services adopts a minimum code (currently 2012 edition) for licensed health care facilities statewide. By examination of the major communities within the Phoenix area, the following codes have been adopted:
2015 International Building Code (IBC)
2015 International Residential Code (IRC)
2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
Applicability (statewide, local, limited): LIMITED
Codes are primarily adopted and enforced locally.
Notes:
There is no state building code other than a minimum code adopted by the Arizona Department of Health Services for licensed health care facilities. Major jurisdictions in and around Phoenix have adopted the 2018 Editions of the codes. www.phoenix.gov/pdd/devcode/buildingcode.
Phoenix adopted the 2018 editions.
Since codes are adopted by jurisdiction and they are still on the 2012, 2015 or 2018 I Codes, adoption of IRC Section R302.13 is unknown. Phoenix did not include this provision in the update of their 2012 I Code adoption
