Property Tax Bills Across Idaho County, Idaho

Property tax bills in Idaho are calculated by applying the local tax rate to a home’s assessed value, which is based on the market value of the property.

In Idaho, the median home price is $214,514, and property tax bills vary widely across the county. The 25th percentile tax bill is $537, while the 75th percentile is $1,293 and the 90th percentile is $1,797. That means some homeowners pay relatively modest bills, while others face much higher costs depending on location, property characteristics, and local taxing jurisdictions.
