One practical note before ringing Elmore County's Extension office at Mountain Home: the only number it publishes carries an extension on the end, so dial the whole of it rather than stopping at the seven digits. Central District Health covers this county along with Ada, Boise and Valley, and it is where a septic permit, a subdivision question or a drinking water question goes. Its postcode is printed two different ways by two official sources, which matters only if you are posting something to it.

Why Sierra Log & Timber cares about your vacant land
Sierra Log & Timber mills cedar log and timber home packages in Chico, California. A good part of our working week is spent with people who have just bought land, and the same thing happens every time: the grants, the chipping days, the defensible space visits and the permit desks are all real, and all scattered across a dozen county websites that do not link to one another. So we put them in one place and left it open. You do not have to be building a log home to use this, and reading it signs you up for nothing.
Nothing local is recorded for Elmore County yet. What is on this page reaches it from the Idaho and national listings above, which is worth knowing before you ring anybody: the help is real, but the desk answering is not in the county. We would rather say that than pad the page. If you know of something here that belongs on it, the second panel below is the fastest way to tell us.
Building on rural land in Elmore County
What applies here, in Idaho and in this county, each line with the source it was read from.
Where the building permit comes from
Elmore County Land Use and Building Department issues building permits here.
Idaho has adopted the 2018 International Residential Code, parts I, II, III and IX, with state amendments, together named the Idaho Residential Code (2020 Edition).
A building permit comes from the city or county, and only from a local government that has elected by ordinance to run a building code enforcement program.
An owner performing construction on the owner's own residential property is exempt from contractor registration, unless the owner is building in order to promptly sell the property.
Does Sierra Log & Timber run any of these programmes?
No. Every organisation and programme on this page is run by somebody else: a county office, a state agency, a nonprofit, a utility or a tribe. We collect them, check them and publish them, and that is the whole of our part in it. What we do ourselves is mill cedar log and timber home packages in Chico, California.
Is this free to use, and does using it sign me up for anything?
The directory is free and reading it signs you up for nothing. The two panels below are the only places on this page that ask for an address, both are optional, and they do different jobs: one tells you when this county's listings change, the other tells us that something here is already wrong.
Numbers change and programmes run out of money. Leave an address and it is held against the Elmore County page so you can be told when a listing here is added, changed or removed. No account.
What is stored is your address and which county page you left it on, and nothing else: no name, no location, nothing about what you read. It is used for that one notification and for nothing else, it appears nowhere on this site, and this site cannot read the list back. Nothing has been sent to any address yet, because the notices are not built; when they are, every message will say how to stop them.
Something on this page is wrong?
Numbers change, offices move and programmes run out of money. If something on this page is wrong, tell us and a person will check it.
What you send goes to the people who maintain this directory and appears nowhere on this site. Your email is used to reply to you and for nothing else.
Technical help for private forest landowners and the Forest Stewardship programme, delivered in California through the CAL FIRE partnership. State and Private Forestry money also funds local reforestation efforts such as the Feather River RCD's EFoRT.
You do not deal with the Forest Service directly for this. The programme runs through a state coordinator, and that is who to ask for. What it supports is good stewardship on privately owned forest land, including agroforestry, aimed at keeping several forest resources going at once rather than timber alone. It is not a small or experimental thing: more than 25 million acres are being managed under stewardship plans written through it.
