Adopted code

City of Coolidge - Development Services Department

The City of Coolidge, Arizona (Pinal County) issues building permits through its Development Services Department, at 131 W. Pinkley Avenue. The City's Building Code Information page lists the 2018 International Building Code, 2018 International Residential Code and 2017 National Electrical Code as its current codes, and Ordinance 23-13 (December 11, 2023) amends the City Code's local amendments to those codes. Arizona has no statewide building code, so Coolidge's own adoption controls. This listing covers the office's contact details, the adopted code edition, the City's permit list entry for roofs, the local drip edge and wind speed amendments, and the state licensing and tax rules that apply to a roofer working in Coolidge.

Registration details
  • license: STATE LAYER, applies in Coolidge as everywhere in Arizona. Contractors are licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors under A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 10 (32-1101 et seq.). A.R.S. 32-1121(A)(14) exempts an unlicensed person only for one project whose aggregate contract price, including labor and materials, is "less than $1,000" and whose work is "of a casual or minor nature," and says the exemption "does not apply: (a) In any case in which the performance of the work requires a local building permit." An unlicensed person who advertises must include the words "not a licensed contractor." The City's own contractor licensing requirement for permits was not found in the pages read, and the specific roofing classification codes and the Registrar's licensing page were not read for this record.
Permit process note
The City's Permit Forms & Applications page says "City of Coolidge requires permits for the following" and the list includes "Roof - when replacing any wood/OSB." The page also says "Double fees will be issued for any work done without permits" and recommends contacting Development Services staff before starting. A roof job that does not replace any wood or OSB is not addressed by the list, so this record does not state whether one needs a permit; call 520-723-6075 to confirm.
Adopted code
The City's Building Code Information page lists its current codes as the 2018 International Building Code, 2018 International Residential Code, 2018 International Mechanical, Plumbing, Fire, Fuel Gas, Property Maintenance, Existing Building, Energy Conservation and Swimming Pool and Spa Codes, and the 2017 National Electrical Code. Ordinance 23-13, passed and adopted December 11, 2023, adopts the "2023 Amendments to Title XV of the Coolidge City Code" by reference and amends City Code Sections 150.22, 150.23 and 150.025; the exhibit is on file with the City Clerk under A.R.S. 9-802(A).
Drip edge
Required — Ordinance 23-13's amendments to the Residential Code add under Section R905.2.8: "Drip Edge. Provide drip edge flashing at the eaves and gables of shingle roofs. The drip edge shall be installed according to the shingle manufacturer's written instructions." About drip edge
Repair permit threshold
No dollar or square-footage threshold appears in the pages read. The City's permit list says a permit is required for "Roof - when replacing any wood/OSB," so the trigger stated is replacement of roof sheathing of any amount rather than a size or cost.
Wind design criteria
Ordinance 23-13 amends Table R301.2(1) to read: Ground Snow Load "Not Applicable," Wind Speed "90 m.p.h.," Seismic Design Category "B," Weathering "Moderate," Frost Line Depth "Not Applicable," Termite "Moderate to Heavy," Decay "None to Slight," Winter Design Temp "32 Degrees F." The same ordinance amends IBC Section 1609.4 to say "The basic wind speed (3-second gust) is 90 m.p.h." and requires Exposure B for single story one and two family dwellings.
Sales & use tax
Roofing is taxed in Arizona as Prime Contracting (business code 015) under the Transaction Privilege Tax, not as a retail sale. The Arizona Department of Revenue Transaction Privilege and Other Tax Rate Tables effective October 1, 2026 list Contracting - Prime at 6.70% for Pinal County (the 5.6% state rate plus the county rate) and at 4.00% for the City of Coolidge (city code CL), a combined 10.70%. A.R.S. 42-5075(B) sets the tax base at "sixty-five percent of the gross proceeds of sales or gross income derived from the business," so the 10.70% applies to 65% of contract income. The same statute excludes from the classification "any work or operation performed by a person that is not required to be licensed by the registrar of contractors pursuant to section 32-1121."
