Tax Deed and Sale Information
Understanding the Tax Deed Process
In Mid-January the Treasurer’s Office will order Litigation Guarantees on all real property parcels with a three (3) year delinquency and begins working to identify and notify the owner and all “parties of interest” that Bonner County will take tax deed to the parcel if the delinquency is not paid, per Idaho State Statute Title 63 Revenue and Taxation, Chapter 10 Collection of Delinquency on Real, Personal and Operating Property.
Partial payments will be accepted and applied at any time prior to the Tax Deed Hearing, but it will not stop the Tax Deed process. After the Tax Deed Hearing takes place, all delinquent years must be paid in full plus the current year to redeem the property.
