Block Walls in Rigby
Rigby's building department page states a general rule in one sentence. It says, "The City of Rigby requires a building permit to be issued for all construction, remodel or additions within the city limits." It does not say whether a block wall counts as construction, so this site states no wall rule for Rigby.

Block Walls around Rigby
The page (read October 8, 2026) says the Planning & Zoning office is in City Hall and gives the days and hours it is open and a named administrator to contact "for next steps". It links the City's Building Regulations, Zoning Regulations and Subdivision Regulations, and lists a Fence Permit Application and a Garage/Shed Permit Application among its forms. It does not mention a block wall.
The page does not mention a block wall, so what follows is our inference, not a rule: the page lists a fence application of its own, so a wall that is built as a fence may be handled differently from other construction; the page does not say, and the office it names is the place to ask. We say nothing about any lot.
