Treasurer

ATTN: Unpaid 2nd-half of 2023 property taxes are considered late. Please contact our office for the updated amount due.

If you chose to pay your 2023 property taxes in two halves, the second half is due June 20. The Treasurer’s Office does NOT mail out statements for the second half of taxes. For questions regarding your amount due, call 208-265-1433.

LATE FEES: Because this is the remainder of 2023 taxes, if the payment is received late, a late fee of 2% and interest of 1% monthly (which is calculated from Jan 1) will be applied to the amount due. See IDAHO CODE 63-903

If a property has changed ownership or a mortgage has been paid off since notices were printed (in November), the Treasurer’s Office recommends homeowners reach out to verify the amount still owed.
