Homeowners

Idaho has a homeowner’s exemption for owner-occupied homes and manufactured homes, which are primary dwellings, that includes the value of your home and up to one acre of land.

For the 2007 property taxes, due and (at least half) payable no later than December 20, 2007 and June 20, 2008 (second half), this law exempts 50% of the value up to a maximum of $89,325 for the home and up to one acre of land.

For the 2008 property taxes, due and payable no later than December 20, 2008 and June 20, 2009, the percentage reduction is unchanged (50%), but the exemption can reduce taxable value up to a maximum of $100,938 for the home and up to one acre of land.

If you’re a homeowner who’s entitled to receive “circuit breaker” property tax relief, you also may be eligible for the 2008 Property Tax Deferral program. Qualified homeowners can postpone payment of the property taxes they owe for their home and up to one acre of land, after circuit breaker benefits have been applied. The taxes and interest (at 6% a year) must eventually be repaid to the state of Idaho.

The Idaho State Tax Commission administers the Property Tax Deferral program, but you must apply for this tax deferral through your county assessor’s office by April 15, 2008. For more information on program guidelines and filing procedures, call your county assessor’s office or Claire Cunningham at the Tax Commission at (208) 334-7736.
