Patio Covers in Camp Verde, AZ

Camp Verde sits east of Prescott, in the Verde Valley, in the Verde Valley floor astride the Verde River, bisected by I-17 at 3,094 ft. At 3,094 feet this is the hot end of the county rather than the snow end. Design here is about heat, monsoon and shade rather than roof load, and that changes which structure makes sense.

01The place

What shaped Camp Verde

The oldest community in the valley. Camp Lincoln was established in 1865 and renamed Camp Verde; the post moved to its present site in 1871 after a malaria outbreak and was renamed Fort Verde in 1878 to signify permanence. It closed in April 1890 and became a state historic park in 1970. George Hance was the first postmaster and the town's unofficial mayor for roughly thirty years. Agriculture still anchors it.

Average annual precipitation is 13.17 inches, and summer highs run roughly 100 to 110 degrees with the July and August monsoon as the wet season.

02The permit

Who decides here

Town of Camp Verde Building Safety issues building permits here, at 473 S Main Street Suite 108, Camp Verde AZ 86322, on 928-554-0050. Because it is an incorporated jurisdiction it sets its own thresholds, so the Yavapai County exemptions on this site's permits page do not automatically apply. Confirm the local rule before assuming either way.

Whichever authority applies, an Arizona ROC licence is a separate question from the permit. It can be checked free on the ROC website, and it is worth doing before any money changes hands.

04Questions

Patio covers in Camp Verde

Who issues a patio cover permit in Camp Verde?

Town of Camp Verde Building Safety issues building permits here, at 473 S Main Street Suite 108, Camp Verde AZ 86322, on 928-554-0050. Because it is an incorporated jurisdiction it sets its own thresholds, so the Yavapai County exemptions on this site's permits page do not automatically apply. Confirm the local rule before assuming either way.

What frost depth applies?

At 3,094 ft the county table would put this in the 12 inches band, but Camp Verde runs its own building department and sets its own criteria. Ask Town of Camp Verde Building Safety on 928-554-0050 for the figure they apply.

What snow load should a structure here be designed to?

That is a question for Town of Camp Verde Building Safety. Prescott Valley publishes a flat 30 psf non-reducible, the City of Prescott requires a site-specific ASCE Hazard Tool report, and the county publishes a 20 to 70 psf range, so there is no safe regional assumption.

What does a patio cover cost in Camp Verde?

The same planning ranges apply across the county: roughly $30 to $55 per square foot for an attached patio cover, $45 to $95 for a ramada, $28 to $65 for a pergola and $12 to $26 for a concrete patio. Distance from Prescott and site access move the labour component.

Does an HOA need to approve it?

Where an association exists, assume yes and go to it before the building department. Architectural review is usually the slower gate and it is the one that can require the design to change.
