Same in much of rural Arizona, it seems--counties don't care what you build as long as it's not an atomic reactor :-) Which makes sense, because the only person you're really hurting with bad home design is yourself.
That's why I was surprised that Beaver Island has strict building codes. Being so rural, I expected it to have none or very minimal.
Apache County, AZ. For an initial fee, you can build without codes...a bubble gum house, if that's your taste.
