Building in Cassia County

Building or improving a property near Burley

The building and the site should be planned together. A home needs an approach and outdoor areas that suit everyday life; a business may need space for customers, deliveries and equipment. Establish those needs before settling on the footprint.

If you already own a building, consider whether a remodel, addition or maintenance work would address its current needs. For a business, explain how the space is used today and what needs to change for customers, employees or equipment.

Confirm the application route for the proposed use

Cassia County lists separate application routes for building work, agricultural siting, manufactured homes and temporary placement.

Describe how the proposed structure would be used, including the activities inside it. County staff can direct the inquiry to the relevant route based on that description.

Include roads, irrigation and fire-district considerations

The county's agency directory lists multiple highway, fire and irrigation organizations. Identify the ones serving your parcel when planning access and site improvements.

Each office may need different information about the proposal. Confirm the requirements relevant to the property early enough for them to be considered in the site design and budget.

Evaluate access and existing services

An existing entrance or utility connection may need changes for the proposed building. Review what is available and what the project requires with the appropriate provider or office. Identify any canal or other site feature that may affect the layout.

For property inside Burley, start with the city's Building Department.
