Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

Subject to the availability of adequate mapping and data to properly identify
the floodplains, if any, within their jurisdiction, each local government is
encouraged to adopt a floodplain map and floodplain management ordinance which
identifies these floodplains and which requires, at a minimum, that any
development in a floodplain must be constructed at a flood protection
elevation and/or have adequate floodproofing. The local government may
regulate all mapped and unmapped floodplains within their jurisdiction.
Nothing in this act shall prohibit a local government from adopting more
restrictive standards than those contained in this chapter.
