Who has building code jurisdiction on my project?

  State Buildings

If the building is owned or occupied by the State of Idaho, the plans are required to be approved by the Division of Building Safety Executive Order 99-6

  Schools

If the building is a public school, the plans are required to be approved by the Division of Building Safety (DBS) prior to the advertisement for bids. If the project value is less than $25,000, DBS does not need to approve the plans. Local city or county building codes are not preempted by the DBS review or approval. Please also contact the city or county.

  Modular Buildings

Buildings built in one place with the intent to move the building to another site for placement are under the jurisdiction of DBS for the construction that is done at the place of manufacture. Work that is done on the placement site is under jurisdiction of the city or county. Please also contact the city or county.

  Manufactured Homes

Manufactured Homes (HUD) are regulated under the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, which is preemptive over construction standards established by states and local governments.

  Private Buildings

The Building Bureau of DBS does not have jurisdiction over site-built private structures if the building or structure is not one of the above. Contact the city or county
