Idaho Building Permits
Locals enforce; State handles trades in rural areas.
How Building Permits Work in Idaho
The state provides a "backstop" for permitting through the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL). In rural areas where counties or cities do not provide inspection services for specific trades (electrical, plumbing, or HVAC), the state acts as the direct permitting and inspection authority.
Model: State-Mandated
