The Community Development Department and the Fire Department will be proposing a modification of the Building Valuation Data by using the ICC BVD August 2018, and such other fees as appropriate. In addition, we will propose the adoption of the 2024 ICC Building Codes according to A.R.S. 9-511.01. Notice is hereby given that the Cottonwood City Council will consider adopting the ICC August 2018 Building Valuation Data, which will increase the building valuation, fees, and other costs. They will also consider adopting the 2024 ICC Building Codes as outlined in the proposed amendments. Further, proposed increases for the Planning and Zoning fees will also be reviewed for adoption. The City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposals at its regular meeting on April 1, 2025, and May 20, 2025, both beginning at 6:00 p.m., at the Riverfront Council Chambers, 1083 E Riverfront Road, Cottonwood, Arizona. They will take our proposals into consideration, after which the Council may approve a resolution adopting the proposed new rates/charges and the adoption of ICC 2024 Building Codes. A written report supporting the new rates, fees, charges, and codes will be filed with the City Clerk at least 30 days before the public hearing. Citizens are welcome to provide written comments regarding the proposed increases.
