Franklin County Commissioners · July 1, 2026

Summary

After a public hearing with no public comment, the Franklin County Commissioners unanimously adopted an amendment to Ordinance #2003-1 to add plumbing inspection under the International Building Code.

The Franklin County Commission voted June 8 to amend Ordinance #2003-1 to adopt the International Building Code with inclusion of the Idaho Plumbing Code and plumbing inspections.

Randy Henrie, building inspector, presented the amendment to the ordinance at a public hearing opened by Chair Robert Swainston.
