Codes adopted

Idaho has a mandatory statewide baseline building code under the Idaho Building Code Act (Idaho Code Title 39, Chapter 41; Idaho Code § 39-4109). No Worley-specific code-adoption ordinance is published online, and the City is not present on Municode or American Legal Publishing's code libraries (town too small to be independently codified there) — the City of Worley's own official website (cityofworley.org) publishes no separate codes-adopted or fee-schedule page.2018 International Building Code (IBC), as adopted and amended by the Idaho Building Code Board — statewide default administered by Idaho DOPL absent a superseding local ordinance.
