Preliminary Plats and entitlements in Ada County and Canyon County. This map also contains parcel boundaries, and subdivisions to help determine the status of development.

This is a polygon data set representing fire district service areas within Ada County, Idaho. Fire districts are the administrative boundaries that define the area that a fire department, or contracted agency, is charged to provide fire suppression services for. It aggregates fire tax code area boundaries for fire districts and incorporated municipalities, as appropriate for the fire agency, to depict the service areas (a.k.a. districts) for each fire department/agency in Ada County. A fire district that annexes an area in June is responsible to serve that area even though taxation is not assigned to those properties until January the next calendar year. This data set does not represent areas of service defined through other agreements such as automatic aid, mutual aid, or other contractual agreements. This data set is not to be used to identify the tax district boundaries for any fire district/agency. The Idaho State Tax Commission publishes the official tax code area boundaries for all taxing districts (counties, cities, schools, libraries, recreation districts, fire protection, ambulance, hospital, mosquito abatement, and others) once a year (typically in March or April). This data set is maintained by Boise City GIS and is update at least twice a year (January and July). The data set is current to the date it was published. For more information, please visit City of Boise Fire Department.

Ada County Precinct boundaries

This is a polygon data set representing the current Boise City Police (BPD) reporting districts. Police reporting districts are the smallest division of territorial boundaries used by law enforcement to deploy manpower, organize officers below their senior commanders, and to track reported crimes, accidents, and calls for service. Reporting districts typically encompass a few square blocks. Boise City Police reporting districts exist only within the Boise City limits. The outer boundary of the reporting districts are coincident with the Boise City limit boundaries. This data set was created by Boise City GIS based on boundaries determined by the Boise Police Department and Ada County Sheriffs Office. It is current to the date it was published.For more information, please visit Boise Police Department.

This is a polygon data set representing parcels owned by the City of Boise as recorded in the Ada County, Boise County, or Canyon County parcel databases. The data for Ada County is derived from a periodic search of the Ada County Assessor’s parcel database for property that has ownership recorded as Boise City. Data for other counties is extracted when legal documents/deeds are received by Boise City GIS staff. The data is a snapshot of the City of Boise parcel ownership current to the last periodic update. The dataset is maintained by City of Boise GIS with input from the city’s departments to identify the department which owns or manages each parcel.

This is a point data set of fire hydrants managed by Boise City. The term 'managed' is used in this data set to denote that Boise City maintains a mapped location of the fire hydrant to satisfy needs identified in the purpose section of this metadata. A fire hydrant is any fixture designed to enable firefighters to tap into the water distribution system to assist in extinguishing a fire. In the Boise region these are typically the traditional above ground cast iron hydrants (generally red) with a cap and valves. This data set also includes atypical hydrants such as the underground access points as found at the Boise Airport. This data set was created by Boise City GIS beginning in 2008 based on available information from United Water, Ada County, Garden City, Meridian, and hardcopy maps maintained by Boise Fire. The data is currently updated via GPS and heads-up digitizing (when GPS data is not available). This dataset is continually updated as new hydrants are installed and location or attribute errors are corrected. The data set is current to the last date of publication. This data set contains all fire hydrants in the following locales: 1) Boise City Limits/Boise Fire District and enclaves; 2) Whitney Fire District and enclaves; 3) North Ada County Fire and Rescue (NACFR) Fire District excluding Garden City; and 4) the general area five miles south and east of the Boise area of impact that are not within a fire district. No data is collected for the following areas: 1) Garden City limits or Garden City area of impact; 2) Kuna fire district; 3) Meridian fire district; and 4) Eagle fire district

This is a point data set representing all streetlight locations within Boise Area of Impact, including lights owned by the city and by Idaho Power. A streetlight is a light, usually mounted on a pole, and constituting one of a series of lights spaced at intervals along a public street or highway. This data set was developed by City of Boise Public Works Department in the early 1990’s and is currently maintained by the DIS Division of Boise City Public Works under the direction of the City of Boise Streetlight Coordinator. This data was created by the City of Boise GIS team. This data is updated continually. It is current to the date of publication. The City of Boise maintains street lights on public streets maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). Boise's street lighting system consists of a combination of lights owned by the city and lights owned by Idaho Power. We have approximately 10,000 lights in our public system, with an additional 300 new street lights installed each year. These are installed as a requirement for development, part of a street upgrade, or installed under one of the city's annual capital improvement projects.To report a street light outage, please use the streetlight outage map app.To request a new street light, please call 208-388-4719.To view street light installation requirements, see the New Development Permits or Requirements page.For more information, please visit City of Boise Public Works.

The preliminary subdivision data set is derived by Boise City GIS from AutoCAD files submitted by local engineering firms to Boise City. The preliminary subdivision is deleted from the Boise City preliminary data set when a subdivision is officially recorded and added to the Ada County basemap data. This data set is continually being updated by the Boise City GIS. It is current to the date it was published

The feature class is the asset inventory for ADA Ramps within unincorporated King County. This data begins as an event table and edited via the Roads Asset Event Editor application. A nightly process places the events on roadsegment_route feature class to be exported to a feature class in the RoadsGIS geodatabase.

This maps shows City of Boise annexations since the original townsite was established in 1866 by the Idaho Territorial Legislature. Use the time-slider to watch the City grow over time. An annexation is the legal incorporation of a geographic area in to a political body. A de-annexation is the secession of a geographic area from a political body. De-annexed areas are areas that were once part of the incorporated boundaries of Boise City but have been removed from the incorporated boundaries (based on the ordinance tied to the de-annexation). The source of the data is the ordinances of annexation recorded by the Boise City Clerks' office. The map also depicts the current incorporated boundaries for cities within Ada County. The Ada County Assessor's Office maintains the city limits and impact areas datasets within Ada County. City boundaries are determined by taxcode and maintained continually, adding areas annexed to city limits by current ordinances. The impact areas dataset depicts the unincorporated areas of Ada County surrounding each city as identified in Title 9 of the Ada County Code, in accordance with Idaho Code Section 67-6526. This data is maintained by City of Boise GIS and is based on the legal descriptions contained in the ordinances. This data set is continually being updated as annexations occur. It is current to the date it was published.For more information, please contact the Ada County Assessor's Division of Land Records/GIS or the City of Boise Planning & Development Services division.

This is a point data set of 1/10thmilepost markers for trails along the Boise River from Lucky Peak Dam to the current terminus within the City of Eagle. The trails along the Boise River are generally referred to as ‘the greenbelt’. The milepost markers along the Boise River are collectively known as the Distance and Orientation Trail System (DOTS). Mileposts are a series of numbered markers placed along a route at regular intervals used as reference points. The DOTS divides the greenbelt trails into quadrants; north and south side of the Boise River, and east or west of the origin at the 8thStreet pedestrian bridge in Boise, Idaho. Milepost identification is comprised of the quadrant or sector (i.e. NW for northwest, SW for southwest, NE for northeast, and SE for southeast) and a mileage (in tenths of a mile). For example, NE 3.1, indicates the north side of the river, and east of the 8th Street pedestrian bridge by 3.1 miles. There are several known exceptions to this convention. The milepost origin for the north and south trail origins are simply delineated by ‘N’ and ‘S’. Also, several mileposts are marked with a ‘W’ for West where the north and south trails converge . Mileage numbers increase as you move east and west from the 8thStreet pedestrian bridge. Milepost markers are not always physically marked on the ground. This data set shows mileposts along the trail centerline and is not meant to represent the physical demarcation of the mileposts. Physical markers, if they exist, will be relatively nearby the point defined in this data set.This data set was created by Boise City GIS in cooperation with Boise State University based off of GPS data and heads up digitizing against available GIS trail and orthophotography data. The data has been reviewed by parks, police, and fire staff from several local agencies in Ada County. The data is believed to be generally accurate. This data set is updated irregularly as new GPS data is collected or as changes to the trail system in different jurisdictions occur. The data set is current to the last date of publication.
