Reading the Chubbuck zoning map for one lot
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, so a lot in Chubbuck is governed there. For rural land toward Pocatello, the county's ordinance, if any, takes over; confirm with the county office. A fast way to settle it: look for a city limits layer in the Bannock County ArcGIS parcel map.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Bannock County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each tax parcel around Arimo and Inkom. In and around McCammon, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Pocatello, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Zoning is only step one
Even when zoning allows a use near Pocatello, you still need building permits and inspections; septic or sewer and driveway access are often reviewed too.
Which office to call
Anything recorded against property around Lava Hot Springs sit in the index kept by the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), sometimes only in person. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Downey go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Backing up the map with records
