Commercial Building Permit (New Construction, Additions, Alterations & Tenant Improvement)
Covers commercial new construction, additions, and alterations, including tenant-improvement and remodel work, in the City of Kellogg. Kellogg has no separate commercial or tenant-improvement permit product: a commercial project is submitted on the same Building Department Permit Application used for residential work, checking New Construction, Addition, or Alteration as applicable. Plans are reviewed against the 2018 International Building Code as adopted by the State of Idaho or the Idaho Building Code Board, per Kellogg City Code § 4-1-1.A, rather than the International Residential Code that governs Kellogg's residential building permit. The application form itself states that commercial construction or new construction requires two sets of plans from the contractor, minimum 24 by 18 inches. Building permit fees, including the plan check fee for this IBC-based review, are set by resolution of the Kellogg city council under City Code §§ 4-1-1.A.1 and 4-1-12, but no fee-schedule resolution is published on the City's website, in its code library, or in its posted council agendas and minutes; the Building Department quotes fees on application, paid by cash or check only.

- Commercial construction or new construction requires two sets of plans from the contractor, minimum 24 inches by 18 inches, per the application form's own instructions.
- Plans are reviewed against the 2018 International Building Code as adopted by the State of Idaho or the Idaho Building Code Board, effective January 1, 2021, per Kellogg City Code § 4-1-1.A; the plan check fee for this review is reserved to a Kellogg city council resolution under the same section.

- The permit application's own approval-entity table calls for sign-off from the local fire district, Planning and Zoning, and the applicable water/sewer district and utilities prior to issuance; the fire district serving Kellogg is Silver Valley Fire Rescue, formed by a September 2025 merger of Shoshone County Fire Protection Districts 1 and 2 (the application form lists the pre-merger name, Shoshone County Fire District #2).
- Fees for building permits and associated services, including the plan check fee, are set by resolution of the Kellogg city council per City Code § 4-1-12; no fee-schedule resolution is published on the City's website, code library, or posted council agendas and minutes, so confirm the current fee with the Building Department before applying.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Permit
VerifiedRequired for rooftop or ground-mounted solar photovoltaic installations within the City of Kellogg. Solar is not one of the checkbox categories on the City's single combined Building Department Permit Application (new construction, additions, alterations, demolition, fence, re-roof, siding, signs, mobile/manufactured home setting, floodplain development) — a solar project would be submitted under the general new-construction/alteration scope of that same form for the structural/mounting portion. Electrical interconnection is issued and inspected by the State of Idaho (DOPL), not the City, consistent with Kellogg's standing arrangement for all electrical/plumbing/mechanical trade permits. Kellogg shares its contracted Building Official (Keith Teeters) with several other Shoshone County cities, but sets its own fees independently; no fee schedule for any permit type, including solar, was found published by the City; Kellogg building fees are set by council resolution rather than a published document. The electrical interconnection scope, handled by the State of Idaho DOPL rather than the City, DOES have a published, currently-adopted statewide fee schedule (IDAPA 24.39.10, Rule 500) that governs the electrical portion of a Kellogg solar PV project.

Requirements
- Building permit required for the structural/mounting portion of a solar PV installation, submitted on the City's single combined Building Department Permit Application (no dedicated solar checkbox exists — use the general new construction/alteration scope)
- Two sets of plans (minimum 24"x18") required for the structural/mounting design, per the same requirement that applies to new construction generally
- Electrical interconnection is NOT issued or inspected by the City of Kellogg — permitted and inspected by the State of Idaho (Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses / Idaho Building Safety, 1-800-955-3044, dbs.idaho.gov), the same arrangement documented for all other electrical work in this record
- All building permit fees, including any solar structural fee, must be paid with cash or check only — no card payments accepted

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / EVSE Permit
VerifiedThe City of Kellogg does not issue electrical permits at all — like all electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, EV charger/EVSE circuit installation is permitted and inspected by the State of Idaho (Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses / Idaho Building Safety), not the City. No dedicated EV charger/EVSE fee category exists in IDAPA 24.39.10 (Rules of the Idaho Electrical Board): an EV charger circuit added to an existing residence is billed under the flat $65 Existing Residential Dwelling Unit Permit fee, while a commercial or multi-family installation is billed under the Other Installation (Including Industrial and Commercial) Permit's wiring-cost-tiered schedule — the same statewide schedule that applies in Idaho City and Jerome. The City of Kellogg publishes no fee schedule of its own (fees are confirmed by phone) and has no bearing on the electrical fee. A City building permit is separately required only if the installation includes a structural or mounting element such as a charger pedestal or canopy, submitted under the general new-construction/alteration category on the City's single combined Building Department Permit Application, since no dedicated EV checkbox exists — the same treatment solar gets.
