Navigating Idaho’s Fence Regulations

Understanding Local Fencing Laws

When installing a fence in Idaho, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the regulations set by your city or county. Non-compliance can lead to fines, disputes with neighbors, or even the removal of your fence.

Fence Laws Every Idahoan Should Know

• Fence Height Rules: Standard regulations allow 6-foot backyard fences and 4-foot front yard fences. Variances may be required for taller fences.
• Respecting Property Boundaries: Proper placement within boundaries is key to avoiding legal issues. Consult a surveyor if there’s uncertainty.
• Shared Fencing: Joint fence projects benefit from open dialogue and mutual agreement.
• Checking for Fence Permits: Permits ensure compliance with local rules, especially for taller fences. Contact city officials to confirm if your project needs a permit.
