What shapes a project in Idaho Falls
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Mid-century housing
About 55 percent of Idaho Falls housing units were built before 1980, and about 15 percent in the 1950s alone, per 2020 to 2024 Census estimates. Only about 22 percent were built in 2000 or later.
Snow, frost and seismic criteria
The Idaho Falls Building Department lists a 47.1 psf ground snow load and has historically required at least a 30 psf roof snow load. Footings go 30 inches below finished grade, and the city uses Seismic Design Category D.
Climate zone 6B
Bonneville County is in climate zone 6B in the Department of Energy's county guide, a colder zone than Ada and Canyon counties. That affects insulation and window requirements on additions and new homes.
