Inkom: a Portneuf River town built around a cement plant

Inkom sits along the Portneuf River near Pocatello. Homesteaders arrived after the area opened for settlement in 1902, and in 1912 H.A. Witthoft and Theodore Gathe bought the townsite, laid out and named the streets residents still use, and sold lots for $100. In July 1929 the first bag of Eagle Brand Portland cement came out of a new plant on the hillside at the edge of town. Marketed later as Ash Grove, it was Inkom's main employer for decades, until manufacturing wound down around 2010 and the site became a shipping terminal. Inkom stayed an unincorporated village until 1946, and the city's plan now describes it as a bedroom community for the Pocatello area.

Inkom-specific things to know

Floodways and creeks. The 2014 comprehensive plan lists the Portneuf River, Rapid Creek, Indian Creek and Marsh Creek, and ranks river and flash flooding among the town's hazards. It also calls for denying building permits in the FEMA regulatory floodway, including permits to expand existing structures. Look up your lot on FEMA's flood map and share any history of water.

Steep slopes and wildfire. The plan notes that lava flows, steep slopes and the interstate hem in the town, and it keeps a wildland-urban interface program for fire. If your lot backs onto hillside, mention any slope or fire concerns.

City utilities. The plan sets a goal of city water and sewer for every household within city limits. If your home isn't connected, tell us what it uses now.

Houses from the plant years. Many homes are from the 1970s or earlier. Old roofs, furnaces or plumbing don't stop a sale to us.

Estates. Under Idaho Code §55-2505, the personal representative of an estate may be exempt from the seller disclosure form. The estate's attorney can confirm.

Taxes. If you pay Bannock County property tax in halves, they're due December 20 and June 20.
