Idaho has introduced a new law mandating the country’s smallest minimum lot size for housing. The law aims to reduce home prices and safeguard agricultural land.
This legislation stipulates that cities must approve housing projects on lots beginning at 1,500 square feet, contingent on meeting specific criteria. This area is slightly larger than half a doubles tennis court.
Idaho is recognized for its open landscapes and sparse population. By implementing this law, the state seeks to promote more affordable housing while maintaining its extensive farmlands.
