1. Idaho-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 6.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Idaho are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 6%; very few local sales taxes (resort cities only).
- Late-fee cap: Idaho statute Idaho Code §28-22-104 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Idaho get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Fence Installer line items + standard terms
Every fence installer invoice in Idaho should itemize work clearly. Standard fence installers use Net 14 terms with a 33% deposit required upfront.
- Materials — billed by itemized.
- Labor — per linear foot — billed by linear-foot (~$18 default).
- Gate install — billed by flat (~$250 default).
- Permit fee — billed by passthrough.
3. Fence Installer licensing in Idaho
Contractor license required in most states for jobs over a threshold. HOA approval often required.
4. Send and follow up
Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Idaho customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
