Do You Need a Permit for a Backyard Pickleball Court in Boise?

The City of Boise generally requires a permit for accessory structures over 120 square feet, and a full-size court's concrete pad clears that threshold in almost every case. Setback requirements from property lines typically run 5 to 25 feet depending on the city, and some Treasure Valley municipalities have added noise-specific placement rules for pickleball given the sport's distinctive sound. We handle the permit application as part of every new-build job, but knowing the requirement before you start planning saves a redesign later.
