How permitting works in Idaho
Idaho counties are responsible for structural permitting in unincorporated areas, but their role is often "standardized" by a reliance on the state. Many rural counties issue the basic building permit but require the applicant to obtain separate trade permits (electrical/plumbing) directly from the state's central inspectors.
Locals enforce; State handles trades in rural areas.
