Idaho building departments
This Idaho directory covers 44 Census county equivalents and local building-department guides. Idaho uses statewide code adoptions while cities and counties issue permits and perform inspections. Check local residential, commercial, and energy requirements.
How permitting works in Idaho
Statewide codes with local administration. A county name is a geographic index, not a promise that the county government issues every building permit. Many projects are handled by a city, town, township, borough, parish, regional office, or independent city.

Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses
Idaho adopts building codes at the state level, allows local amendments that are no less stringent than the state requirements, and provides a state installation-permit path for new homes where there is no approved local building program.
