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. Avoid potential fines and neighbor disputes by adhering to local regulations.

Important Fencing Rules in Idaho

  • Height Variances: Standard regulations allow 6-foot backyard fences and 4-foot front yard fences. For taller fences, be prepared to request a variance.
  • Installing on Property Lines: Fences should typically be installed within your property boundary. If unsure, a surveyor can confirm exact boundaries.
  • Joint Fence Ownership: Work with neighbors to address shared fencing arrangements.
  • Permit Requirements for Fences: Some Idaho cities require permits for certain fence types or heights. Always confirm local permit rules before installing a fence.
