ADU Design in Idaho: what governs your project
Idaho has no statewide ADU statute; ADU rules are set by cities and counties through local zoning ordinances. Permissiveness varies significantly across the state.
Energy code
Local building departments review plans for zoning and code compliance, including snow-load structural requirements in mountain areas. Setbacks, size limits, and utility fees vary by jurisdiction.
Permitting & plan check
Boise, Meridian, and other Treasure Valley cities run their own permit centers with electronic submittal. Smaller cities and counties commonly use third-party plan review. Rapid growth has made review timelines a common project-planning factor in the Boise metro.
