Do I need a permit for screen enclosure or pool cage in Rexburg?

Permit may be required

It depends. Whether screen enclosure or pool cage needs a permit in Rexburg comes down to the details of your project.

Enclosing a porch or patio is construction or alteration of a structure, and no entry on the model IRC exempt-work list covers it (R105.2). Idaho has no statewide building permit mandate for homes: each city or county chooses whether to run a building program (Idaho Code 39-4116(1)), so confirm with the city or county office that has jurisdiction. Setbacks and lot coverage are local zoning matters; check them before building.
