Franklin County moves to adopt International Building Code and Idaho Plumbing Code
Summary
After a public hearing with no public opposition, the county voted to adopt the International Building Code and add the Idaho Plumbing Code to its ordinance so local inspectors can perform plumbing inspections previously done by the state.
Franklin County commissioners held a public hearing and voted to amend county ordinance 2003-1 to adopt the International Building Code and explicitly add the Idaho Plumbing Code so the county may perform plumbing inspections locally.
County zoning administrator Randy Henry presented the ordinance change and explained it adds three words — "Idaho Plumbing Code" — to the county adoption language so inspections for plumbing can be done at the county level rather than remain under the state's umbrella. "We're adopting the Idaho Plumbing Code," Henry said, noting the change permits local inspections because the county now has staff available to perform those services. No members of the public offered comment during the hearing. The commission closed the hearing and later moved to adopt the ordinance; the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff said the change does not alter other code language; it only authorizes county inspections for plumbing. Commissioners said they would place the final signed ordinance on the next meeting paperwork and publish the amendment per statutory notice requirements.
