Keep your fencing project smooth and legal with Idaho’s regulations in mind.

Getting to Know Idaho’s Fence Regulations

Stay informed about Idaho’s fencing regulations to ensure a hassle-free process. Avoid potential fines and neighbor disputes by adhering to local regulations.

Important Fencing Rules in Idaho

  • Height Guidelines: Backyard fences are typically limited to 6 feet, with front yard fences capped at 4 feet. Apply for a variance if your design requires taller fences.
  • Fence Placement Rules: Ensure your fence is placed correctly within your property’s boundaries. If unsure, a surveyor can confirm exact boundaries.
  • Neighborly Fence Agreements: Work with neighbors to address shared fencing arrangements.
  • When Permits Are Required: Many municipalities require permits for fences that exceed standard sizes. Always confirm local permit rules before installing a fence.
