Tips

  • Kellogg's Building Official, Keith Teeters, personally issues all permits and can be reached directly at (208) 786-9131 (office), (208) 661-0494 (cell), or keith.teeters@kellogg.id.gov.
  • All building permit fees must be paid with cash or check only — no card payments accepted.
  • Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work in Kellogg is permitted and inspected by the State of Idaho, not the city — call 1-800-955-3044 or visit dbs.idaho.gov.
  • A single application form covers most residential permit types (new construction, additions, alterations, demolition, fence, re-roof, siding, signs, mobile/manufactured home setting, and floodplain development) — check the applicable boxes.
  • Projects in a flood zone require completion of Section 5 (Floodplain Development Permit) of the application, including FIRM map/panel number and lowest floor elevation; substantial improvement (addition value ≥49% of pre-improvement structure market value) triggers Chapter 8.24 CPMC minimum development requirements.
  • This same Building Department Permit Application and permit process is also how Kellogg handles commercial new construction and commercial tenant-improvement (TI)/remodel work -- Kellogg has no separate commercial building permit and no separate TI permit. The application PDF's checkbox list is New Construction, Addition, Alteration, Demolition, Fence, Re-Roof, Siding, Sign, Mobile/Manufactured Home Setting, and Floodplain Development, with no 'Commercial' or 'Tenant Improvement' checkbox, and City Code § 4-1-1 adopts both the 2018 IBC (§ 4-1-1.A, governing commercial construction) and the 2018 IEBC (§ 4-1-1.F, governing alterations/change of occupancy in existing buildings, i.e. TI-type work) within the same combined Title 4, Chapter 1. A commercial project checks 'New Construction'/'Addition' and a TI/remodel project checks 'Alteration' on this identical form.

No. Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits in Kellogg are issued and inspected by the State of Idaho (Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses), not the city. Contact the state at 1-800-955-3044 or dbs.idaho.gov.

No. Kellogg uses a single Building Department Permit Application for all project types. Its checkbox list (New Construction, Addition, Alteration, Demolition, Fence Installation/Modification, Re-Roof, Siding Installation, Sign Installation, Mobile/Manufactured Home Setting, Floodplain Development) has no dedicated 'Commercial' or 'Tenant Improvement' option -- read directly from the application PDF. The form's own intro paragraph instead states 'Commercial construction or new construction requires TWO SETS OF PLANS from the contractor (must be at least 24"x18").' On the code side, City Code § 4-1-1.A adopts the 2018 IBC (which governs commercial/non-residential construction) and § 4-1-1.F adopts the 2018 IEBC (which governs alterations and change of occupancy in existing buildings -- the TI/remodel scope), both within this same combined Title 4, Chapter 1 'Building Code' chapter, with fees for the whole chapter set by council resolution under § 4-1-12 and no residential/commercial split found anywhere. A commercial new-construction project checks 'New Construction' or 'Addition'; a commercial TI/remodel project checks 'Alteration' -- both use the identical form, fee-setting mechanism, and review process as a residential project.
