Will a prefab home work on your lot? Three quick checks

Confirm these three things before you order, with My Cozy Outdoors (MCO) helping you think them through.

Does your zoning allow a house here?

City residential lots permit houses. Zoning, covenants and homeowners association rules set size, setbacks, height, coverage and design review. County rules apply in the area of city impact, the ring of county land a city expects to grow into. Rural zones set acreage minimums and one-home-per-parcel rules. Confirm zoning and legal parcel status with planning before ordering.

Can the modules reach your lot?

Modules are about 15 ft wide. You need a truck route, staging area and crane pad. Your carrier gets the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) oversize permits. Mountain passes and winter limits matter. Irontown’s feasibility review checks the route and crane placement.

Do you have sewer, or will you need septic and a well?

Without sewer, you need a septic permit from your public health district. Call early. A domestic well needs a construction permit from the Department of Water Resources. Water use can be limited in regulated ground water areas.

Confirm your property requirements before ordering
This page is a starting point for planning a full-size home. MCO helps and advises but takes no responsibility for zoning, permits, impact fees, septic approval or code compliance. Before ordering, confirm your parcel, plan and use with city or county planning and building offices, and septic approval with the health department. MCO strongly recommends contacting those offices and can share the code sections it found and suggest questions.

Modular home prices and delivery in Idaho

Multi-State Designer Series starting prices run from $276,800 for Walker to $502,100 for Mill Creek. They include modules, delivery, standard crane and set within 250 miles of Spanish Fork. Pocatello, Burley, Preston and Bear Lake pay no extra transportation. Beyond those miles, transportation is $12.75 per mile per truckload: about $200 to Idaho Falls, $1,800 to Boise, $3,100 to McCall and $6,200 to Coeur d’Alene. A two-module home doubles those figures.

Approximate road miles from the factory

Estimate only. Multi-State Designer Series starting price with standard delivery and crane set. Beyond 250 miles the rate is $12.75 per mile per truckload; a full-size home ships as two to four modules on separate trucks and is stitched together on your foundation, and your written quote confirms the count. Foundation, site work, stitch, utilities, permits, fees, engineering, pilot cars and sales tax are not included.

Choose your nearest town, plan and estimated truckloads in the calculator. Full-size homes ship as two to four modules on separate trucks. The written quote confirms the load count, any pilot cars and final pricing before construction.

What the starting price includes

  • Your finished modules in the Designer finish series.
  • Construction to the Idaho residential code, the International Residential Code.
  • Engineered, stamped plans for your building permit.
  • Delivery for the first 250 miles from Spanish Fork.
  • The standard crane and set on your foundation.
  • Irontown’s 10 year limited structural warranty.

Costs not in the home price

These are separate costs charged by the contractor, city and districts, with quotes from the contractor and city, not MCO.

  • Land.
  • Site preparation, grading and delivery access.
  • Foundation built to the structural engineer’s specifications.
  • Utility trenches, connections, septic and well work.
  • Stitching and finishing the module seams inside and outside.
  • Steps, decks, porches and garages outside the plan, plus driveways and landscaping.
  • Permit, plan review, impact, utility capacity and applicable district fees.
  • Site and foundation engineering.
  • Applicable tax.
  • Transport touch-up allowance for minor cosmetic items outside warranty; major transit damage is covered by transport insurance.

Your side of the budget includes land, foundation, site work, stitch, utilities, permits, impact fees, connection fees, site engineering and tax. The general contractor prices on-site work, and the city and providers set their charges. MCO does not quote those items.

An impact fee is a one-time charge your city or county, or a district, may add for roads, water, sewer, parks and public safety. It applies to new homes and can also fund stormwater facilities. Collection starts no earlier than construction or permitting. Published totals range from no impact fee in Pocatello to about $14,221 in Post Falls. Idaho has no school impact fee. Water and sewer connection and capacity fees are the utility’s separate charges.

Idaho charges sales tax on 55 percent of a new modular home’s price, not on all of it (Idaho Code 63-3613(c)). Appliances and furnishings not built in at the factory are taxed separately. Your written quote shows how tax is handled. Once set, your home is assessed with your land as real property. If you live in it, apply once to the county assessor for the homeowner’s exemption (63-602G). It takes $125,000 or half the assessed value, whichever is less, off the home and up to one acre.

Not a manufactured home, and why that matters

Your home is not a manufactured home built to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) code, a mobile home or a kit. Irontown builds it in factory sections to Idaho’s residential code, the same code used for site-built houses. A crane sets it on your permanent foundation. On this page, prefab and modular mean the same thing.

Idaho law calls it a modular building. The Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), the state’s licensing agency, covers factory work. Your city or county permits and inspects foundations, utility connections, set and stitch without re-opening factory work. Irontown’s feasibility review settles how the factory-built portion is reviewed for your Idaho site, project by project.

Once set, your home is a permanent building and real property. Your county assessor values it with your land. If you live there, you can claim the homeowner’s exemption. Most buyers use construction loans that convert to mortgages. Your lender decides whether conventional, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) programs apply.

Built for Idaho: snow, earthquakes and wildfire

Idaho has one statewide residential building code. Your city or county publishes snow, wind, earthquake and frost figures for its area. Irontown designs your home to those figures during pre-construction, so you have nothing to calculate. Idaho is mountain and earthquake country, and your stamped plans reflect it.

How much snow your roof must carry

Snow load is the snow weight your roof must carry, in pounds per square foot (psf). Idaho’s offices use the University of Idaho ground snow study’s town figures and set their own minimums. Boise, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell require at least 25 psf on roofs; McCall requires 150 psf. Study figures include Pocatello 45, Rexburg 50, Coeur d’Alene 60 and Hailey 82. Your building official’s figure governs. Irontown’s engineers design your roof and structure to it.

Earthquakes and wind

Earthquake design is lowest in the Treasure Valley, Magic Valley and north central Idaho. It is higher in Boise, Ada County and Kootenai County, and highest around Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Rexburg. Borah Peak’s 1983 earthquake measured magnitude 6.9; Stanley’s 2020 earthquake measured 6.5. Most offices publish 115 miles per hour winds. Irontown’s engineered plans are stamped for your site’s loads during pre-construction, the same requirement a site-built home meets.

Wildfire rules depend on where your lot is

Idaho’s wildfire rules are local. Defensible space is a cleared, maintained zone around your house. Ada County requires 50 ft of defensible space in its mapped foothills. Boise requires Class A roofs in its foothills. Blaine County requires a Class A roof and 30 ft of defensible space around every new home. Pocatello and Bannock County have adopted the code. Irontown designs the modules to the same rules as a site-built home during pre-construction. Idaho requires no fire sprinklers in one- and two-family homes.

How long does an Idaho modular home take?

Irontown’s phases total about five to seven months: 1 to 2 weeks plus 2 to 3 months plus 12 to 16 weeks. Your city or county’s permit review overlaps pre-construction; offices vary. Your contractor’s site work adds time.

Your city or countyReviews foundation plans, permits and inspects foundations, utilities, set and stitch. Sets zoning, setbacks, snow, wind and design review rules. The state’s licensing agency covers factory work.

Your Idaho general contractor

You need a general contractor for site work. Idaho registers general contractors and licenses electricians, plumbers and heating contractors (Idaho Code 54-5204). Irontown has contractor connections; contact MCO to see whether we can recommend one in your area. The feasibility review includes contractor support. You may work on your own home without registering. Before selling, you must live there as your primary residence for twelve months (54-5205).

Are you a general contractor building homes for clients? Email support@mycozyoutdoors.com to join the MCO contractor network.

Financing your modular home

Most buyers use a construction loan that converts to a mortgage after the home is set and finished. Your lender releases funds in draws as work progresses. Your lender decides whether Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or conventional programs apply.

Irontown’s referral lenders understand modular construction and its draw schedule. They are external references, not financing offered by Irontown. My Cozy Outdoors (MCO) does not lend or promise approval. Ask MCO for an introduction with your quote.

City and county starting points

Before ordering, you must confirm requirements with city or county planning and building offices, and septic approval with the public health district.

County rows cover unincorporated areas; city rows apply inside city limits. Where a city permits its own area of city impact, the note says so. These published fees and review times help you plan a conversation with the permitting office.

Zoning, delivery route and site detailsThe longer notes behind the three checks above

Inside city limits, a single-family home is a permitted use on residential lots. Zoning, recorded covenants and HOA rules govern lot size, setbacks, height, coverage and design review. In an area of city impact (the ring around a city expecting growth), county plans and zoning, including county-adopted special provisions, apply; the notes identify whether the county or city issues permits. On county land, rural residential and agricultural zones set acreage minimums and one-dwelling-per-parcel rules. The zone, legal parcel status and covenants are established before ordering.

Your lot needs a workable truck route, staging area and crane pad. The carrier obtains Idaho Transportation Department over-dimension permits, plus local permits for the last miles. Travel hours and pilot cars depend on load width and route colour. Feasibility includes mountain passes and winter restrictions; permits prohibit travel on ice, snow or in poor visibility.

Rural lots need septic approval through the public health district where sewer is unavailable. Exempt domestic wells still need construction permits, and regulated ground water areas can restrict use. During pre-construction, engineering addresses snow loads by elevation, eastern Idaho seismic design and applicable wildfire overlays.

How Idaho regulates a modular home

These state rules shape your project; the section references are for your building department.

  • Idaho law calls this a modular building, not a manufactured or mobile home. The state’s licensing agency covers factory work; your city or county covers site work. Irontown’s feasibility review settles the review path for your site.Idaho Code 39-4301; IDAPA 24.39.31
  • Idaho’s statewide residential code is the International Residential Code. Stamped plans cover your site’s snow, wind and earthquake loads. Without a county building department, the state’s licensing agency handles trade permits; county location rules remain, and the state handout requires no foundation permit.Idaho Code 39-4109; 39-4116
  • Your city or county reviews your foundation and inspects utilities, set and stitch. It handles occupancy, zoning and site rules. It cannot re-open factory work for inspection or charge permit or review fees on that portion.IDAPA 24.39.31
  • Your city or county sets zoning rules. Houses are permitted on residential city lots. Rural zones set acreage and parcel dwelling rules. County rules, including special provisions, govern expected city growth areas. Confirm your parcel’s eligibility before ordering.Idaho Code 67-6508; 67-6511; 67-6526
  • Your city or county sets permit review times; Idaho has no statewide deadline. Published reviews take 7 to 15 business days in Treasure Valley cities and 2 to 4 weeks in Bannock County. Allow for review alongside Irontown’s phases.Idaho Code 67-6519
  • Adopted impact fees fund infrastructure and public safety. Collection starts no earlier than construction or permitting. Published totals include $2,610 in Rexburg and about $14,221 in Post Falls. Utility connections cost extra.Idaho Code 67-8203; 67-8204
  • Idaho does not require fire sprinklers in one- and two-family homes. Your city or county sets wildfire construction rules. Your public health district permits septic systems. The Department of Water Resources issues well construction permits.Idaho Code 39-4116; IDAPA 58.01.03; Idaho Code 42-235
  • Your quote explains tax handling. After installation, your home is assessed with land as real property. The homeowner’s exemption covers your primary home and up to one acre, capped at $125,000 or 50 percent of assessed value, whichever is less.Idaho Code 63-3613; 63-602G
  • Idaho registers contractors and licenses electricians, plumbers and heating contractors. Owner-builders must live there as their primary residence for twelve months before selling. Contracts over $2,000 require written lien disclosure; final payment requires a signed subcontractor and supplier list covering amounts over $500.Idaho Code 54-5204; 54-5205; 45-525

Common Questions

Irontown’s Multi-State Designer Series starting prices run from $276,800 for Walker to $502,100 for Mill Creek. Southeast Idaho is within 250 included delivery miles. Beyond, extra transportation is per truckload: Boise about $1,800; Coeur d’Alene $6,200. Land, foundation, site work, stitch, utilities, fees, engineering and tax are extra.

No. A modular home follows the residential code Idaho adopts statewide and is set on a permanent foundation. A manufactured home follows the federal HUD code. On this page, prefab home and modular home describe the same product.

DOPL’s state program reviews plans and inspects factory work. The local building department inspects the foundation, utility connections, set and stitch without re-opening the factory-built portion. How the factory-built portion is reviewed for your Idaho site is confirmed during feasibility.

Irontown allows 1 to 2 weeks for feasibility, 2 to 3 months for pre-construction and 12 to 16 weeks for construction and delivery. Local permit review is additional. Site readiness and delays can affect the schedule.

They depend on the location and provider. Pocatello has no impact fee; Post Falls totals about $14,221 in published impact line items. Utility connections and capacity charges are separate. Pocatello’s published water and sewer capacity line items total about $10,470.

Possibly, depending on the parcel and zone. Rural acreage minimums and legal parcel rules govern dwelling rights. Engineered plans address snow loads by elevation, seismic conditions and local wildfire overlays. Truck access, crane placement, septic and water also shape feasibility.

A construction loan commonly releases funds in draws and converts to a mortgage after completion. Irontown has external referral lenders familiar with modular projects. Ask MCO for an introduction with your quote and ask your lender about FHA, VA or conventional eligibility.

A general contractor is required for the foundation, utilities, set coordination, stitch and finish. Idaho requires contractor registration and trade licences. The state also has an owner-builder exemption with conditions. Irontown’s feasibility review includes contractor support.

The two plans nearest that size are Thatcher, 1,860 sq ft, from $423,200, and Mill Creek, 2,198 sq ft, from $502,100. Delivery and crane set cover the first 250 miles from Spanish Fork. Beyond that, transportation costs $12.75 per mile per truckload. These homes need several truckloads; the calculator shows your town’s figure. Your contractor and your city or county separately price land, foundation, site work, permits and fees.

Starting prices stay the same. Boise is about 390 road miles away: delivery adds about $1,800 per truckload, $3,600 for two modules. Impact fees run $2,755 to $11,939 by size and area, plus Ada County Highway District‘s $5,803. Sewer is separate. Boise’s code specifically addresses modular homes at permitting. Irontown’s feasibility review settles how your factory-built portion is reviewed for your site.

Not a full-size Irontown plan. Walker starts at $276,800, including delivery and set for 250 miles. My Cozy Outdoors (MCO) offers modular ADU homes starting lower. For example, Mysa 500 has one bedroom and 497 sq ft, from $142,600 on the same delivery terms. Your city or county decides through zoning whether a smaller home is allowed on your lot.

No. Nothing arrives as a pile of parts. Irontown finishes your modules in its factory; its crew delivers and sets them by crane. Aspen offers 1,255 sq ft from $296,700, Donner 1300 offers 1,315 sq ft from $330,900, and the two-story Bunkhouse offers 1,588 sq ft from $379,300. Delivery includes 250 miles. Beyond that, McCall adds about $3,100 per truckload; Island Park or Ketchum adds about $1,200.

Snow load is your roof’s designed weight capacity in pounds per square foot (psf). Your city or county sets it: Treasure Valley roof minimums start at 25 psf; McCall requires 150 psf. During pre-construction, Irontown’s engineers use your county’s figure. Stamped plans cover eastern Idaho’s earthquake design level, the state’s highest. Your home meets the same residential code as a site-built house.

On a permanent foundation, your home is a permanent building and real property, not a vehicle or titled manufactured home. Your county assessor values it with your land. If you live there, you can claim the homeowner’s exemption. Buyers use construction loans that convert to mortgages. Ask your lender about conventional, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) programs.

Some lots have no workable truck route, staging area or crane pad. Irontown’s feasibility review checks these before you commit, and its $2,000 fee is credited to the contract. The two Berkeley plans are 15 ft wide and a few offices set width rules, so ask first; the other ten plans are wider. Your contractor and your city or county price the foundation, site work and fees, so the total takes a few calls; MCO helps you gather them. The project runs in phases over about five to seven months; the timeline on this page shows who does what.

Irontown has built in Idaho but has no Idaho model home or photo page yet. Tour finished modules and finishes in Spanish Fork, about an hour south of Salt Lake City International Airport, with direct Boise Airport flights. From eastern Idaho the drive is about three to four hours. Photos on this page show Irontown homes in Montana, Utah, Nevada, Colorado and California. Contact My Cozy Outdoors to arrange.

Starting prices include finished Designer modules, the code package, engineered stamped plans, delivery for the first 250 miles, standard crane and set, and warranty. Budget separately for land, foundation, site work, stitch, utilities, permits and fees, engineering and tax. Your contractor and your city or county price those items. My Cozy Outdoors (MCO) does not quote them.

Walker and Aspen offer basements; Berkeley 2 offers a garage level. Bunkhouse offers an upstairs bath. Your quote prices Designer, Modern, Balance or Rustic finishes. Irontown’s interior designer helps you choose during pre-construction. Phase 2 includes limited design customization. Your contractor builds garages, porches and decks outside the plan on site.

Irontown builds, ships and sets your modules. Your contractor builds the foundation to the structural engineer’s plans and handles the stitch and finish. The feasibility review includes contractor support. Irontown has connections to some general contractors. My Cozy Outdoors (MCO) can help: contact MCO to see whether we can recommend one in your area.

Rules were read in September 2026. This summary is not legal advice or approval. Rules change, and local offices decide how they apply. You are responsible for confirming zoning, permits, impact fees, septic approval and code compliance for your parcel, plan and use before ordering. MCO helps and advises but takes no responsibility for those matters.
