Do I need a permit for fence installation or replacement in Burley?

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether fence installation or replacement needs a permit in Burley comes down to the details of your project.

The model IRC exempts fences not over 7 feet high from a building permit (R105.2), but local zoning often sets its own height and setback rules. The model IRC list of work exempt from permit (R105.2) applies only where the city or county enforces the Idaho Residential Code, which is the 2018 IRC with Idaho amendments (IDAPA 24.39.30.600.03). Idaho law requires notice to the one-number utility locate service two to ten business days before digging, except excavation under 15 inches deep outside a recorded utility easement (Idaho Code 55-2205, 55-2210).
