Adopted code

City of Eloy - Community Development Department, Building Safety

The City of Eloy, Arizona (Pinal County) issues building permits through the Building Safety division of its Community Development Department, at 595 N. C Street, Suite 102. The City Code adopts the 2018 International Building Code and 2018 International Residential Code by reference, with local amendments, as the City of Eloy Building Code. Arizona has no statewide building code, so Eloy's own adoption controls. This listing covers the office's contact details, the adopted code edition, the climatic design values and ice-barrier entry in the City's Table R301.2(1) amendment, and the state licensing and tax rules that apply to a roofer working in Eloy. The City's list of residential work exempt from permits does not mention roofing, and no reroofing permit rule was found in the pages read.

Registration details
  • license: City Code Section 5-9 (amending IRC Section R105.3) says the "Registrar of Contractor's license number and Eloy Business license number of the general contractor is required on the permit application." STATE LAYER: contractors are licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors under A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 10. 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 specific roofing classification codes and the Registrar's own licensing page were not read for this record.
Adopted code
City Code Section 5-3(A) adopts by reference "as the City of Eloy Building Code, pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Section 9-802": the "International Building Code, with amendments, 2018 edition," and the "International Residential Code, with amendments, 2018 edition," along with the 2018 mechanical, plumbing, fuel gas, energy conservation, fire, property maintenance and existing building codes and the "National Electric Code, with amendments, 2017 edition." Local amendments to the Residential Code are in Section 5-9. The City's Building Safety page lists the same current adopted codes.
Ice & water shield

Wind design criteria
City Code Section 5-9 inserts into Table R301.2(1): "Ground Snow Load; insert [0]," "Wind Speed; insert [115]," "Topographic Effects; insert [NEGLIGIBLE]," "Seismic Design Category; insert [B]," "Weathering; insert [NEGLIGIBLE]," "Frost Line Depth; insert [0]," "Termite; insert [HEAVY]," "Winter Design Temp.; insert [34]," "Ice Barrier Underlayment Required; insert [NO]," "Flood Hazards; insert [PINAL COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT]," "Air Freezing Index; insert [50]" and "Mean Annual Temp; insert [68]." The Building Safety page lists "Wind Speed: 115 miles per hour."
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 4.50% for the City of Eloy (city code EL), a combined 11.20%. 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 11.20% 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."
