Who is responsible for administering and enforcing the Kentucky State Plumbing Code?

The responsibility for administering and enforcing the Kentucky State Plumbing Code falls to the Administrative Authority. This entity is designated by the state to ensure that plumbing installations and systems comply with established regulations and standards. Such authority typically includes interpreting the code, overseeing plumbing permits, conducting inspections, and ensuring compliance with safety and health standards.

Local Government may play a role in implementing these codes at the municipal level, but the overarching responsibility for the enforcement and administration is held by the Administrative Authority. Licensed Plumbing Contractors are responsible for performing plumbing work according to the code, but they do not enforce it. Homeowners Associations generally do not have jurisdiction over state plumbing codes or regulations and focus instead on community rules and maintenance.
