Chubbuck, Idaho has adopted: Idaho has a mandatory statewide building code framework under the Idaho Building Code Act (Idaho Code Title 39, Chapter 41), administered by the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses' (DOPL) Building Safety Program, which sets the statewide-adopted editions of the IBC, IRC, IECC, and related codes; local jurisdictions administer and enforce permitting and inspections within their boundaries and may adopt local amendments.; The City of Chubbuck operates its own Building Division within the Community Services Department — it is not a DOPL-administered jurisdiction for permit issuance. The Building Division reviews plans and issues permits directly for residential and commercial building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work within city limits.

(linked from the Building Division page).; Chubbuck Municipal Code Chapter 15.04 ('Codes Adopted'), Section 15.04.010 ('Building Codes Adopted'), separately codifies the following as 'the approved editions of the following nationally recognized codes, as adopted by the state of Idaho or the Idaho building code board': International Building Code (including rules for ADA/federal fair housing accessibility equivalency); International Energy Conservation Code; International Fire Code and appendices as adopted by the state of Idaho through the Department of Insurance (locally amended: Section 101.1 inserts 'city of Chubbuck fire department,' and Section 109.3 inserts a 'misdemeanor - $300.00 - 60 days' penalty); International Residential Code, Parts I-IV and IX; National Electrical Code, 2008 edition, and Appendix H; Uniform Plumbing Code, 2006 edition, and its appendices (with the International Plumbing Code's appendices/supplemental material usable as guidelines). The Municipal Code text also states that 'the adopted versions of these codes shall be deemed superseded by successive versions of such codes as they are adopted or approved by the board, effective on the date any such codes are made effective by the board' — meaning the Idaho Building Code Board's subsequent 2018-cycle state adoption (as confirmed on the Building Division page and Building Permit Application) supersedes the 2008 NEC / 2006 UPC editions still printed in the codified municipal text.

Left unspecified rather than invented — contact the Building Division to confirm the currently enforced mechanical/fuel-gas code edition.; Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) administers statewide contractor/tradesperson licensing (electrical, plumbing, mechanical contractors and journeymen); the City of Chubbuck's own Building Permit Application requires a 'STATE CONTRACTOR NUMBER' field rather than issuing separate city trade licenses for those disciplines, consistent with the statewide DOPL licensing model used elsewhere in Bannock County (e.g., Pocatello).
