Why Idaho Is America’s Fastest-Growing Cleaning Market
Idaho has been the fastest or second-fastest growing state in the nation for several consecutive years. The Treasure Valley — anchored by Boise, Meridian, and Nampa — is experiencing a population boom fueled by migration from California, Oregon, and Washington. These transplants bring higher income expectations, a willingness to pay for professional services, and a familiarity with hiring cleaning companies.
The state’s median household income of $66,500 is climbing rapidly alongside population growth. New subdivisions are sprouting across the Treasure Valley at a pace that outstrips the supply of cleaning services. This supply-demand imbalance means cleaning businesses can grow quickly without aggressive marketing — word of mouth and basic online presence are often enough to fill a schedule.
Beyond Boise, secondary markets like Idaho Falls, Coeur d’Alene, Twin Falls, and Pocatello are experiencing their own growth spurts. Sun Valley and McCall offer premium vacation rental markets similar to Colorado’s mountain towns. Idaho’s business-friendly environment (low taxes, minimal regulations) makes it one of the easiest states to start and grow a cleaning business.
Growth Creates Opportunity
Idaho’s population grew 21% in the last decade — the fastest rate in the nation. New residents moving from high-cost states are accustomed to hiring cleaning services and willing to pay solid rates, creating instant demand for professional cleaning businesses.

What Idaho Cleaners Charge
Idaho rates have risen significantly alongside the state’s population growth and increasing cost of living.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $110 – $230 | $155 |
| Deep Cleaning | $200 – $430 | $300 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $240 – $500 | $350 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.08 – $0.17 | $0.11 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $90 – $200 | $135 |
Boise and Meridian command the highest rates. Eagle and other Treasure Valley suburbs are catching up quickly. Sun Valley and McCall charge resort-level premiums. Idaho Falls and Coeur d’Alene offer solid rates with less competition.
Idaho Cleaning Business Requirements
Business Registration
Register your LLC or corporation with the Idaho Secretary of State. LLC filing costs $100 online. Sole proprietors should file a DBA (Certificate of Assumed Business Name) with the county for $25.
Sales Tax
Idaho’s state sales tax is 6%. Cleaning services are generally subject to sales tax in Idaho. You must obtain a seller’s permit from the Idaho State Tax Commission (free).
Workers’ Compensation
Idaho requires workers’ comp insurance for all employers with one or more employees. Sole proprietors and LLC members can exempt themselves but must cover all hired workers. Premiums average $1.80–$3.00 per $100 of payroll.
General Liability Insurance
Not legally required but strongly recommended. Most Idaho cleaning businesses carry $500K–$1M coverage at $350–$700/year.
City Business Licenses
Many Idaho cities require their own business licenses. Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and Idaho Falls all have separate requirements with fees ranging from $25–$100.
No State Cleaning License
Idaho does not require a specific state license for cleaning businesses. Standard business registration, a seller’s permit, and applicable local licenses are all you need.
