Idaho Fencing Guidelines Demystified

Before building your fence, understand the local rules set by Idaho municipalities. Ignoring these rules can lead to fines, legal troubles, and extra expenses.

Key Regulations to Know

  • Height Restrictions: Residential fences usually can’t exceed 6 feet in backyards and 4 feet in front yards. Variances may be required for taller fences.
  • Installing on Property Lines: Ensure your fence is placed correctly within your property’s boundaries. Consult a surveyor if there’s uncertainty.
  • Collaborative Fence Projects: Discuss plans with your neighbors for shared fences to maintain good relations.
  • When Permits Are Required: Many municipalities require permits for fences that exceed standard sizes. Your local municipality can provide details on necessary permits.
