Do I need a permit for hvac replacement or installation in Star Valley?
Most likely yes. Hvac replacement or installation usually requires a permit in Arizona. Confirm the specifics with Star Valley.
Most Arizona jurisdictions require a mechanical permit to change out an air conditioner, heat pump, or furnace, even for a like-for-like swap; the specific permit type and inspections depend on the local adopted code. Adding a new electrical circuit or gas line for the equipment, or relocating it, can trigger additional electrical, plumbing, or structural review. A new or relocated system, or one that burns gas, goes beyond a like for like change out and is not covered by replacement exemptions. Gas piping and venting normally require their own permit and a pressure test, and a relocated system usually triggers new duct, condensate, and electrical disconnect requirements.
