Codes adopted

Idaho adopts a statewide baseline building code set under the Idaho Building Code Act (Idaho Code Title 39, Chapter 41) and IDAPA rules administered by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL). Effective January 1, 2021, the statewide baseline includes the 2018 International Building Code (IBC), 2020 Idaho Residential Code (based on the 2018 IRC Parts I–III and IX with Idaho amendments), 2020 Idaho Energy Conservation Code (based on the 2018 IECC with Idaho amendments), 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC), 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and 2018 International Fire Code (IFC). The National Electrical Code is adopted separately by the Idaho Electrical Board (IDAPA 24.39.10), not bundled with the building code: Idaho enforces the 2023 NEC, effective July 1, 2024 (the state used the 2017 NEC with amendments before that and skipped the 2020 edition). Local jurisdictions must enforce the state baseline and may adopt amendments only where those amendments are at least as stringent as the state-adopted editions; local amendments may not be less restrictive. Enforcement is local — each city or county issues permits and performs inspections. Always confirm the current adopted edition and any local amendments with your specific jurisdiction before submitting plans.

• 2018 International Building Code (IBC) — adopted via Victor Municipal Code Title 7, Building Regulations
• 2018 International Residential Code (IRC)
• Teton County adopted the 2018 I-Codes (including 2018 Energy Conservation Code) with local amendments, March 2021 — Victor building regulations are administered consistent with this county-wide adoption
• Idaho State Plumbing Code and National Electrical Code — enforced by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), not the City of Victor

Permit types & fees

• Standard Building Permit (Residential New Construction)

  Required for new single-family dwellings and major residential construction projects in Victor. Reviewed and issued by the City of Victor Planning & Building Department; inspections performed by the city's contracted Building & Mechanical Inspector (Sunrise Engineering).

  →

• Minor Permit — Mechanical (Residential or Commercial)

  Required for mechanical-only work (HVAC, furnaces, and related mechanical installations) in Victor that does not rise to the level of a Standard Building Permit.

  →

• Minor Permit — Framing (Residential or Commercial)

  →

  Required for installation of signage in Victor.

  →

• Demolition & Structure Moving Permit

  →

• Re-Roofing Permit

  Required for roof replacement/re-roofing on existing structures in Victor.

  →

• Solar PV Installation (Standard Building Permit) + Solar Airspace Review

  The City of Victor has no dedicated solar-PV application form or flat solar fee line on its Fee Schedule or its 'All Forms & Applications' page — a rooftop or ground-mount solar photovoltaic installation is billed under the same valuation-based Standard Building Permit fee table used for other construction (see residential-building-permit), submitted via the same online iworq portal. Electrical interconnection work is handled entirely by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), not the city, consistent with Victor's general electrical/plumbing sourcing. Separately, the city's Fee Schedule carries a distinct 'Solar Airspace Review Public Meeting' line item (billed at the cost of the contractor plus 10%) — a zoning-side public-meeting process, not a building permit, that applies when a proposed structure or installation raises a solar-access dispute with a neighboring property.

  →

• Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit

  The City of Victor has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit application or fee line on its Fee Schedule or its 'All Forms & Applications' page. As with the electrical-interconnection component of the city's solar-pv-permit entry, EV charging station wiring is permitted and inspected by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), not the City of Victor, since the city does not run its own electrical permitting program. If the EV charger installation requires new structural work (e.g., a new carport or accessory structure), that portion would separately require the city's Standard Building Permit, billed under the same valuation-based fee table used for other construction.
