Understanding Idaho Fence Laws

Understanding Local Fencing Laws

Knowing Idaho’s fence laws helps you avoid fines, disputes, and costly mistakes. Non-compliance can lead to fines, disputes with neighbors, or even the removal of your fence.

Top Rules for Idaho Fence Projects

• Fence Height Rules: Residential fences usually can’t exceed 6 feet in backyards and 4 feet in front yards. You’ll need a variance for any fence exceeding these limits.
• Fence Placement Rules: Place fences on your property to avoid encroaching on others’ land. A surveyor can help you avoid placement mistakes.
• Shared Fencing: Joint fence projects benefit from open dialogue and mutual agreement.
• Checking for Fence Permits: Permits may be needed for specific fence styles or sizes in your city. Contact city officials to confirm if your project needs a permit.
