Boise Building Permits
Building permits inside the City of Boise are issued through Boise Permitting and Licensing, which handles plan review and inspections under Idaho's statewide adopted codes, with city ordinances and development standards layered on. Access, driveway approaches and right-of-way work go to the county-wide highway district rather than the city. On foothills parcels, slope, drainage, fire flow and wildland-urban interface rules often decide what can be built, and general contractors must be registered with the state contractors board.
