Solar Array Building Permit
VerifiedRequired for rooftop or ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (solar array) installations within Rigby city limits. Simpler permits such as deck, fence and garage/shed are obtained directly at City Hall, but solar is not: Jefferson County's dedicated 'Rigby Solar Array Building Permit' help document directs applicants to submit through the shared Jefferson County Planning, Zoning & Building Cityworks public portal, the same route used for Rigby's Residential Building Permit. Electrical-connection work is permitted separately through the State of Idaho DOPL, since Rigby and Jefferson County do not administer electrical trade permits locally.

The City of Rigby's own separate 'City of Rigby Solar Permit' PDF (cityofrigby.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Solar-Permit.pdf) is not usable as a fee source: on direct inspection, it is a template document whose body text is entirely a Fence Permit form (it repeats 'ISSUANCE OF THIS FENCE PERMIT...' and 'This is a Permit for the construction of a fence only' throughout, with only the header retitled to 'Solar Permit') — an apparent city document/template error, not a real solar-specific fee or process.

Residential Building Permit (Single-Family Dwelling, Townhouse, New Construction & Additions)
VerifiedRequired for new single-family dwellings, townhouses, additions, and most accessory structures over 120 sq ft within Rigby city limits. Governed by Rigby City Code Title 9, Chapter 1 (adopting the IBC/IRC, current Idaho State Edition). Applications are submitted through the shared Jefferson County Planning, Zoning & Building Cityworks public portal using a Rigby-specific application help guide, and building inspections are performed by Jefferson County PZ&B inspectors under a Joint Powers Agreement with the city — but the City of Rigby retains its own Zoning Permit/Zoning Certificate requirement, handles water/sewer connection and sidewalk inspections directly, and issues the final Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Completion itself.

EV Charging Station Permit (State-Issued Electrical Permit)
VerifiedRequired for installation of a Level 2 (or higher) electric vehicle charging station/EVSE within Rigby city limits. Rigby and Jefferson County do not locally administer electrical trade permits (the same finding the solar-pv-permit entry documents): the electrical-connection scope is permitted directly by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL). Jefferson County publishes no dedicated 'EV Charger Help Information' document (unlike its Solar Array and Detached Accessory Building help sheets), so no separate structural building permit is expected for a standalone EVSE install unless it also involves a new structure or a service/panel upgrade, in which case the shared Jefferson County/City of Rigby Cityworks building-permit process applies to that scope.
Verified 2026-07-20 · Source
Requirements
- Electrical work must be performed by an Idaho-licensed electrical contractor (or the homeowner on their own primary residence, per Idaho Code Section 54-1016 exemptions), permitted through Idaho DOPL rather than the City of Rigby or Jefferson County
- Installation must comply with National Electrical Code Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) as adopted by Idaho under IDAPA 24.39.10.250
- A dedicated branch circuit sized to the EVSE manufacturer's specifications is required; GFCI protection applies per NEC 625 where the EVSE is cord-and-plug connected
- If a panel/service upgrade or new structure is involved, that scope must be submitted through the Jefferson County Planning, Zoning & Building Permit & Application Portal (Cityworks), the same co-administration model used for Rigby's other building permits
- No dedicated EV/EVSE fee line item is published by DOPL, Jefferson County, or the City of Rigby — the statewide DOPL 'Other Installation' fee schedule under IDAPA 24.39.10, Rule 500 applies to the electrical scope
Required documents
- RequiredIdaho DOPL Electrical Permit Application (Contractor)State of Idaho DOPL electrical permit application for licensed-contractor installations
- OptionalIdaho DOPL Homeowner Electrical Permit ApplicationAlternative application for a homeowner self-installing EVSE wiring on their own primary residence under Idaho Code Section 54-1016
Fee schedule
| Fee type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Idaho DOPL Electrical Permit — 'Other Installation' fee schedule (applies to EV charging station circuits since no dedicated EVSE fee line is published) | Wiring cost up to $10,000: $60 plus 2% of total wiring cost; $10,000-$100,000: $260 plus 1% of the amount over $10,000; over $100,000: $1,160 plus 0.5% of the amount over $100,000 | Idaho Electrical Board Rules, IDAPA 24.39.10, Rule 500 (Permits and Inspections). Statewide fee schedule, since Rigby/Jefferson County have no local electrical-permitting program. Same fee category the solar-pv-permit entry documents for its electrical scope. |
Commercial Building Permit (New Construction, Addition, Alteration & Tenant Improvement)
VerifiedRequired for new commercial construction, commercial additions, and commercial alterations/remodels/tenant improvements within Rigby city limits, submitted through the shared Jefferson County Planning, Zoning & Building Cityworks public portal under the same Joint Powers Agreement co-administration model documented for Rigby's residential and solar permits. Jefferson County's own 'Guide to Determine Building Permit Application Jurisdiction, Category, and Type' document lists only TWO application types under its COMMERCIAL category — 'Commercial – New Construction / Addition' and 'Commercial – Signs & Towers' — with no third, distinct 'Commercial Remodel' or 'Tenant Improvement' application type, unlike the NONCOMMERCIAL category, which does list its own separate 'Basement Finish or Residential Remodel' type. Rigby/Jefferson County therefore has NO distinct tenant-improvement-permit product: interior alterations and tenant improvements to existing commercial space in Rigby are submitted under this same 'Commercial – New Construction / Addition' application, using the same fees, document requirements, and review timeline documented in this entry. This confirmed-absence finding is separately corroborated by Jefferson County's own 'Structures Requiring Building Permits' document, which states the adopted ICC codes require a permit for an owner or agent who intends to 'construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure' (i.e., alterations/remodels are legally permit-triggering events under the same code, not a separate permit category), and by the City of Rigby's own Building Department web page, which states in its own words: 'The City of Rigby requires a building permit to be issued for all construction, remodel or additions within the city limits.'
Verified 2026-08-02 · Source
Requirements
- Building permit required for new commercial construction, commercial additions, and commercial alterations/remodels/tenant improvements within Rigby city limits — there is no separate tenant-improvement or commercial-remodel permit product; all route through the single 'Commercial – New Construction / Addition' Cityworks application category (Jefferson County 'Guide to Determine Building Permit Application Jurisdiction, Category, and Type')
- COMMERCIAL PLANS (WHICH MUST INCLUDE A CODE ANALYSIS STATING OCCUPANCY CLASS) MUST BE DESIGNED AND STAMPED BY AN IDAHO LICENSED ARCHITECT — quoted directly from the Rigby-specific 'New Commercial & Addition Building Permit Application' help document
- Plans must comply with the 2018 IBC and IFC per the same Rigby-specific help document (dated January 2, 2024) — note this predates the documented current-Idaho-State-Edition code adoption and the June 1, 2026 Jefferson County PZ&B HVAC takeover; confirm current edition/process status with Jefferson County PZ&B or Rigby City Hall before relying on the 2018-cycle figure for a new application
- Register for and activate an account on the Jefferson County Cityworks public portal before applying
- City of Rigby Zoning Certificate must be obtained/attached as a required document
- Application data required: Description of Work, Type of Structure, Fire Sprinkler System Installed (and whether required), Occupancy Class, Construction Type, Designed Occupancy Load, Parcel Number, Parcel Size, City of Rigby Zoning, Location Address, Subdivision/Lot/Block (if applicable), flood zone status, square footage of all space types in the structure, height to top of gable, height to bottom of eave, distance eaves extend from structure, setbacks (N/E/W/S), distance from other buildings on the property, canal/irrigation information, Sewer Provider, Sewer Permit Number, Water Source, and Heat System
- Site Plan showing all property lines, setbacks, easements, North arrow, new/existing structures with dimensions, driveway location, canals/rivers/roads, and parcel size
- Recorded Warranty Deed
- Idaho Contractor License (copy) attached
- Engineered Truss Design and Truss Layout required as attachments
- Water and Fire Suppression Plan required as an attachment for every commercial application (per the Rigby-specific help document's required-documents list), independent of whether a fire sprinkler system is ultimately installed
- Per the help document form, all mechanical system(s) were to be 'permitted and inspected by the State of Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses' as of the form's January 2, 2024 date. Jefferson County PZ&B then took over new Mechanical (HVAC) permit processing and inspection for Rigby specifically, effective June 1, 2026 (see the residential building permit entry). Whether that later, Rigby-specific change also covers commercial HVAC applications, as opposed to residential only, is not published — confirm current routing with Jefferson County PZ&B (208-745-9220) or Rigby City Hall (208-745-8111) before applying
- Access Permit from Jefferson County Public Works (county roads) or Idaho Transportation Department (state highways), if applicable
- Septic Permit (approved) from Eastern Idaho Public Health if there is plumbing in the structure and the parcel cannot connect to City of Rigby sewer, or an EIPH authorization-to-connect letter if tying into an existing septic system
- If in a mapped flood zone: Flood Plain Development Permit Application and Elevation Certificate
- Written Consent from the property owner is a recommended attachment specifically 'if leasing the structure' — directly relevant to tenant-improvement projects performed by a commercial tenant rather than the property owner
- All required attachments must be individually labeled PDF files uploaded through the Cityworks portal
- Minimum 24 hours' notice required to schedule any inspection
Required documents

- OptionalAccess PermitIf the property needs access off a county road or state highway
- OptionalWritten ConsentRequired from the property owner specifically if the applicant is leasing the structure — the document most directly relevant to a tenant-improvement/leased-space project
- OptionalFlood Plain Development Permit Application and Elevation CertificateRequired only if the parcel is within a mapped flood zone
