Oneida County keeps its Extension office on South Main Street in Malad City, and its septic permitting is done at Pocatello by Southeastern Idaho Public Health. On tax the useful thing is knowing which office to ring. Idaho counties do the assessing and the billing while the state commission oversees the procedure, so a valuation question goes to the county assessor and a bill question to the county treasurer. The commission runs a separate number again for mapping questions.

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 Oneida 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.

Common questions

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.
