Filing checklist for Meridian

  • Verify whether the property sits inside Meridian city limits or in unincorporated Idaho — that determines which department accepts the application.
  • Bring current general liability and workers' compensation certificates.
  • Match declared valuation to the signed contract amount.
  • Confirm whether the scope triggers a separate electrical, mechanical or plumbing permit pulled by a licensed sub.
  • Schedule required inspections before covering any work.
