Commissioners adopt International Building Code and add Idaho plumbing code
Summary
After a public hearing and staff presentation, the board adopted an amendment to county ordinance to adopt the International Building Code and explicitly add the Idaho Plumbing Code to allow local plumbing inspections under county administration.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners adopted an amendment to county ordinance 2003‑1 to adopt the International Building Code and to specifically add the Idaho Plumbing Code so the county can perform plumbing inspections locally.
Randy Henry, identified in the record as a planning/zoning administrator, explained the change is limited to adding three words to the ordinance so the county can take over plumbing inspection responsibilities now that the county has staff who can perform the work. "We're adopting the International Building Codes and… we are adding line number 7 that says, Idaho Plumbing Code," Henry said during the public hearing. The amendment was opened for public comment and then moved for adoption later in the meeting; commissioners voted in favor by voice vote.
Commissioners said the change will allow the county to take on inspections previously managed at the state level and that further implementation details and any necessary permit processes will be handled by planning staff.
