About Property Taxes in Idaho
Idaho property taxes are administered at the county level. Property is assessed at 100% of market value as of January 1 each year. Tax bills are typically mailed in October or November, with a December 20 deadline for the full amount or an option to pay in two installments. Idaho offers a meaningful homeowner exemption that exempts half of a home's value from taxation (up to a cap), making it one of the more generous homeowner exemptions in the western United States.
Payment & Assessment
Idaho property taxes are due December 20. You may pay in two equal installments: First installment: Due December 20 Second installment: Due June 20 of the following year Paying by the first installment date is also an option for paying in full. A penalty of 2% per month (up to 12% maximum) applies to late payments. Most counties offer online payment through the county treasurer's website. Contact your county assessor or treasurer for payment options.
