WELCOME TO THE ADA COUNTY BUILDING DIVISION HOME PAGE
Since 1975 the Building Division has been issuing permits as per a variety of building codes. The Ada County Building Code is the current standard to establish compliance for structural, mechanical, life safety, and accessibility. Plans Examiners and Building Code Technicians review construction drawings for code compliance and Building Inspectors perform on-site inspections. This process confirms that buildings and structures in Ada County are sound and in compliance with Fire and Life Safety standards.
