Idaho Shed Moving Permit Rules
In Idaho, a shed on a trailer needs an oversize permit once it exceeds 8'6" wide or 14' tall. Permits come from the Idaho ITD and typically cost $10–$100 for a single trip.

| Issuing agency | Idaho ITD |

What this means for your move
Most 10-, 12-, and 14-foot-wide portable buildings exceed the 8'6" legal width in Idaho, so a permit is required for nearly any move on public roads. An 8-foot-wide shed usually travels permit-free as long as trailer deck height keeps the total under 14'.
Plan the route around mountain passes and irrigation-canal bridge crossings. Pilot car required above 12' wide on US highways. Escort vehicles are billed per mile and are typically the largest add-on cost after the haul itself.
Professional shed haulers usually carry annual blanket permits, which removes the per-trip paperwork for the homeowner entirely.
