Real Estate & Development Market
Real estate drone photography demand in Rigby is driven by active development:
Rigby is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Idaho Falls metro area, with annual growth rates approaching 3.5%. Known as the Birthplace of Television (Philo Farnsworth hometown), Rigby is attracting residential development driven by Idaho Falls commuters and tech-sector spillover. Major construction includes the Jefferson County School District expansion, residential subdivisions along Highway 20 and Highway 48, and commercial development along Main Street. Residential permitting exceeded 120 new units in 2023-2024, a remarkable rate for a city of 5,400.
Rigby sits in Jefferson County, 12 miles north of Idaho Falls along Highway 20. Known as the Birthplace of Television (Philo Farnsworth boyhood home), the city is experiencing rapid residential growth as Idaho Falls expands northward. The Jefferson County School District is expanding to accommodate new families. Agricultural lands surround the city, creating seasonal airspace coordination needs with crop duster operations. The Idaho National Laboratory to the west has restricted airspace that operators should check before flying in that direction.
Idaho drone regulations require FAA Part 107 certification for all commercial drone operations. Our network of verified operators in Rigby meets all federal and state requirements.
