Idaho property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Idaho?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Idaho adds its own break: Property Tax Reduction (circuit breaker) up to $1,500 for 65+, disabled, widowed, and others with 2025 income of $39,130 or less.

Homestead: homeowner's exemption: 50% of home and up to 1 acre value, capped at $125,000. Idaho circuit breaker applications are filed with the county assessor each year from January 1 to April 15.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
