From the ADA website:A service animal is any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability.

@Matthew WatsonThe building official is correct about updating the codes and ADA. 

Nice idea and more ADA friendly.  :-)  Thanks!

Canyon County (Nampa and Caldwell) still have room to grow, they are becoming the exit strategy for those that are tired of the infrastructure lags of Ada county (Boise,Meridian etc).

Also if most voters were renters, they would push for renter-friendly legislation -- more rent control, more difficult evictions, more building permits, more ADA requirements, more non-discrimination rules. 

As a matter of course, we have to bring the building up to code which includes ADA compliance (grab bars and roll in showers) and fire suppression/detection (fire sprinklers, alarms and lights, etc.).  

You could go overboard and put in ADA wheelchair width front door and bathroom door If you wanted to dedicate this unit long term to elderly customers.Just my 2 cents. 

You are then going to take this contract and market it to a "private mailing list" (because you cannot market it to the general public) for 105K.Keep in mind the general public has already been advertised this house for 100K, Now you have to find a buyer that will never ever find it listed for 100K (from the MLS, a newspaper ad a flyer).

Claim example, you have a fire and all your door widths are not ADA compliant.   

You need to think of and treat the request for a service animal as a request for an ADA reasonable accommodation request which must meet three legal tests:1.
