H 926 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE DISTRICTS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the formation of community infrastructure districts.

This bill amends Idaho law to revise how Community Infrastructure Districts can be formed, allowing cities and counties to create special zones for planning infrastructure before development begins. The key provision requires that any district be approved by local government bodies and must follow existing land use planning rules, while also specifying that only publicly owned infrastructure can be financed through these districts. The legislation creates a legal framework for advance payment of development impact fees and provides additional financing tools to help new growth pay for itself more quickly.
