Property Tax Deferral

The program allows Idaho homeowners to postpone paying property taxes on their home and up to one acre of land. The deferred property taxes will apply to the December 2024 tax bill, if approved. The deferred taxes and any interest are a lien on the property. The deferred taxes and interest must be repaid if the property is sold or transferred, the qualified claimant or the last surviving claimant dies, or the property no longer qualifies for the Homeowner’s Exemption.

Application Deadline

You must apply and qualify for this program every year. You must apply between January 1 and September 5, 2024, for a deferral on your 2024 taxes.

If your application’s approved, the Idaho State Tax Commission will pay the county directly. You won’t see the deferral on your property tax bill.

Property Tax-Aide has independently selected the property tax relief programs featured on this website that we think are the most relevant and beneficial to older adults. It is not an exhaustive list of all property tax relief programs available in each state. Please consult your local tax agency for a comprehensive listing of property tax relief programs in your area.
