Any local government may, by ordinance, enact the Kentucky State Plumbing
Code, regulating the construction, installation, or alteration of plumbing within
such local government, providing for the issuance of plumbing installation
permits and fixing permit and inspection fees. Two (2) or more local
governments may, by ordinance of each local government, enact the plumbing
code as described in this section which shall be jointly enforced and
administered by said local governments within their boundaries. Agreements
for joint enforcement shall conform to the provisions of KRS Chapter 65. The
department may authorize any such local government or combination of local
governments to administer, carry out, and enforce the Kentucky State
Plumbing Code and the rules and regulations of the department relating thereto
and to issue permits and make inspections thereunder within such local
government, in which event a permit issued under the provisions of the local
government plumbing code ordinance shall be deemed a permit issued by the
department; provided, however, that inspectors of the department shall have
concurrent jurisdiction with local government plumbing inspectors in the
enforcement in such local governments of the Kentucky State Plumbing Code.
Any local government enacting a plumbing code ordinance may appoint and fix
the compensation of local government plumbing inspectors. No person shall be
eligible for appointment as a local government plumbing inspector unless he or
she has at least eight (8) years' experience as a master or journeyman
plumber. At the time of his or her appointment, he or she shall be licensed in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting a local
government from collecting occupational license fees from persons, firms, or
corporations engaged in the plumbing business.
