Different county, different office
Rigby and the rest of Jefferson County are outside Bonneville County, so the Idaho Falls permit counter doesn't apply. Addresses inside Rigby city limits follow the city's rules, and rural addresses follow Jefferson County's. Your contractor should check which one covers your property.
Livestock fences
If the fence needs to hold animals, Idaho's lawful fence standard in Idaho Code 35-101, at least 4 1/2 feet high with the bottom no more than 20 inches off the ground, is a useful baseline. Horses usually need a more visible, safer fence than cattle.
