Please Be Advised:
We are not currently accepting permits via email.  Please mail in your permits or drop them off at our office in Cascade.

As of January 1, 2021, the Valley County Building Department's adopted BUILDING CODES are:

• 2018 International Residential Code
• 2018 International Building Code
• 2018 International Energy Conservation Code

Please be sure your design loads on your plans, your engineering calculations, and your REScheck reflect these current codes. 

The Building Department provides information and building permits to commercial and residential builders in our jurisdiction. This department does not cover the City of McCall, their impact area, or the City of Cascade; the City of Donnelly contracts with Valley County to perform inspections within their city limits.

It is the mission of this office to make the permitting process as easy as possible. All current building codes and ordinances relating to Valley County Building Department are available for viewing at this department. Please refer to the building permit instructions below for additional information about inspections and permitting.

Valley County has adopted the 2018 International Building Code with amendments as per the State of Idaho (download new building code information and amendments as of January 2015.)  The 2018 International Residential Code and the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code are in effect as of January 1, 2021

Per Section R106 of the 2018 IRC, plans must be stamped by a design professional registered in the State of Idaho and structural calculations must be stamped by an engineer registered in the State of Idaho.

Beginning February 1, 2021 we will no longer accept building applications that do not have all the required information on the application or supporting paperwork, for submittal.  We will return them to customer and customer will need to resubmit.
