State Overview
Property Taxes in Idaho
Idaho's property taxes rank well below national average
Idaho homeowners pay an effective tax rate of 0.508%, less than half the national median of 1.03%, placing the state among the country's lowest-tax states. The typical Idaho property tax bill runs $1,529 annually—43% less than the national median of $2,690—despite homes here averaging $311,932, slightly above the national median home value of $281,900.
County rates range from 0.292% to 0.868%
Clark County residents enjoy the state's lowest effective rate at 0.292%, while Nez Perce County reaches 0.868%—nearly triple Clark's burden. This threefold variation reveals significant inequality within Idaho: median tax bills swing from $592 in Clark County to $2,643 in Ada County, a $2,051 difference on the same dollar of home value.
The typical Idaho homeowner pays $1,529 annually
With a median home value of $311,932 and median property tax of $1,529, the average Idahoan dedicates roughly 0.49% of their home's value to annual taxes. This burden remains comfortably below the national median tax-to-value ratio, making Idaho an attractive state for property owners seeking lower tax exposure.
Urban counties carry higher tax bills than rural areas
Ada County—home to Boise and the state's largest metro area—leads the state with $2,643 in median taxes, while sparse rural counties like Clark and Custer charge under $950 annually. This urban-rural divide reflects both higher property values in cities and concentration of taxable infrastructure, creating a steep incentive gradient toward rural homeownership.
Idaho is a genuinely low-tax state for homeowners
At 0.508% effective rate—less than half the national norm—Idaho ranks among America's lowest-tax states, rewarding homeowners and retirees seeking to minimize property tax drag. Rural counties like Clark and Custer offer the steepest savings; urban buyers in Ada County still pay substantially less than national averages.
