Idaho County Mapping assigns and maintains addresses for all non-incorporated areas of the county. We also assist the cities and post offices within Idaho County to maintain addressing conformity. An address the County assigns is important in several ways including: E911 emergency response, mail delivery, property addressing, utilities, and mapping. We welcome comments and updates on the addressing program to better serve the public.
