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 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 polygon data set that depicts the locations of easements and vacations of easements granted to the City of Boise. An easement is a legal right to make use of land owned by another party, for a specific and limited purpose as specified within an easement description. An easement vacation is a legal declaration to relinquish to the parcel owner the easement that was formerly granted. Easements are attained by the City of Boise in the following ways: 1)through right-of-way vacation from Ada County Highway District where the City of Boise retains rights to build and maintain utility structures across the area vacated within the vacation description; 2)a Boise City Council resolution where a grantor gives the City the right to build and maintain sanitary sewer, geothermal, drainage or pressure irrigation across their property; 3)as a grant of easement or grant deed recorded at Ada County; and 4) as a note on a subdivision final plat that a specific lot, portion of a lot or lots is shown to have an easement across it (them) and may or may not include dimensions of the easement. All easements in this data set are within the Boise City Area of Impact. This data set is maintained by Boise City Public Works GIS staff. Features in this data set are derived from available computer aided drafting CAD drawings, paper map documents and legal descriptions that define easement locations. Easements have been granted to the City of Boise since about 1900 to the present. Documentation of easements prior to 1970 is incomplete; therefore most of the easements in this data set will be from 1970 to the present. The data is updated continuously. It is current to the date it was published.

This is a polygon data set representing first due areas for stations located in Ada County. A first area is geographical area that one station is closer to than any other station. It should normally be served by the personnel and apparatus from the fire station in the event of a fire or other emergency. With today’s computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems, station first due areas are no longer used to assign an apparatus to an incident. The closest engine, no matter the district, will be assigned. We now use the first due areas to analyze if our fire fighting force is being used efficiently. We will use it to see if certain stations are busier that others and if stations have a concentration of a specific type of call in their first due area. This information will be used to make business decisions within all fire departments in Ada County. The data set was created from FireView Desktop software based on current street network, station locations, and fire district boundaries. The accuracy is unknown. This data was created by the City of Boise. This data is updated as needed. It is current to the date of publication.

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.

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.

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 polygon data set representing the Avigation Easements held by the City of Boise Airport. (An easement is an interest in land owned by another that entitles its holder to a specific limited use or enjoyment.) Avigation Easements are easements granted by the landowner to the Airport for the right to use the airspace above the property without any liability for noise, vibrations, fumes, dust or fuel particles that may be caused by aircraft. Avigation Easements also grant that no use of the properties encompassed in the easement area shall be permitted that would cause discharge into the air of fumes, dust or smoke that would interfere with aircraft operation. Also, no development or construction shall be permitted above the height limitations provided by the Boise Airport Ordinances. This data was created from the Avigation Easement legal deeds as recorded by the Ada County Recorder. This data set is updated at the request of Boise Airport Administration staff as official changes occur. All avigation easements have been acquired through local land use ordinances. This data was created by POWER Engineers, Inc. and will be maintained by the City of Boise. It is current to the date of publication.For more information, please contact the City of Boise Airport.
