A. Permits are required for gas piping or mechanical HVAC work as defined in chapter 15.03 of this title and as covered in this chapter. Permits required by the international mechanical code may be issued to persons other than licensed HVAC contractors provided the person is doing gas piping or HVAC work in a single- or duplex-family dwelling, including accessory buildings, quarters and grounds in connection with such dwelling owned by him or being purchased by him under a contract, and provided further that such person shall comply with the minimum standards, rules and regulations applicable to gas piping or HVAC work, or by individuals holding a current plumbing certificate for installation of gas piping and piping for hydronic systems. The contractor/homeowner shall be responsible for ensuring the required permits have been obtained prior to commencing work.
B. A permit shall not be required for work performed by the utility supplier on the upstream side (the utility supply side) of the service meter.
C. A permit shall not be required for the cleaning of stoppages or repair of leaks in pipes, valves or appliances when such repairs do not involve or require the replacement or rearrangement of pipes, valves or appliances. It shall be required, notwithstanding the foregoing, that work of this nature be performed by persons qualified by the state of Idaho as competent to do such work.
