Hayden, Idaho has adopted: Idaho has a mandatory statewide baseline building code under the Idaho Building Code Act (Idaho Code Title 39, Chapter 41). The City of Hayden is an INCORPORATED CITY within Kootenai County with its own separate Building Department, entirely distinct from Kootenai County Community Development's Building Division (which administers only the unincorporated area of the county). Kootenai County's own adopted-codes documentation explicitly lists Hayden among the incorporated cities in the county with their own building departments and codes.
