Neighborhoods and lots we build on in Star
We build throughout Star, including Star River Ranch, Star Crossing. Lots vary block by block in setbacks, utilities, soil, and slope, so we evaluate the specific parcel before we price the home rather than applying a flat square-foot number.
As a local team familiar with Star landmarks like Boise River, Star Riverwalk Park, Freedom Park, we understand the area's character and how to design a home that fits its street and holds its value.
Permits and planning in Star
Permits inside Star city limits come from the City of Star Building Department. Addresses outside city limits go through the county instead; we check this for you at the first visit.

We confirm the required submissions and inspection steps for your scope, then account for them in the project schedule.
Our Star designs also account for the local semi-arid climate with hot summers and cool winters, from insulation levels and window specification to a building envelope and exterior materials that hold up to freeze-thaw cycles.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Any of our four home types: custom from a blank page, semi-custom starting from an adapted plan, a build on land you own, or a shop home. Want a Star parcel checked before committing? Design and lot evaluation are each available without a full build contract.
Yes. P5 Home Co LLC, Idaho Registered Contractor #8381215, bonded and insured, and we provide our Idaho contractor registration details when asked. Star's building FAQ notes that contractors need a current, valid State of Idaho license to apply for permits in the city.

Absolutely. Star belongs to our Treasure Valley service area, with Star River Ranch and Star Crossing among its neighborhoods. Every home type we build is available here, from custom and semi-custom to a house on your own lot, and evaluating a Star lot before you buy is part of what we offer.
Star is in Ada County, though Census boundary data shows part of the city extends into Canyon County, so confirm which county your parcel sits in. Within city limits, Star's Building Department issues permits, and our permit-flow page lays out both counties' steps.
Yes. Star's residential submittal checklist (February 2026) requires a soils and geotechnical report, stamped and signed by an Idaho licensed engineer, for projects that include a basement. New homes also need a sewer certificate from Star Sewer & Water unless the home is on septic.
Star's checklist sends any structure or group of structures totaling 4,000 sq ft or more to Fire, which checks whether hydrant flow to the property is adequate and may require alternatives if it isn't. Larger custom homes and shop-home combinations should plan for that review.
