Delinquent Real Property Taxes
(Idaho Code §63-1002)
Any payments received will be applied to the oldest delinquency or tax 
of record. If real property is not paid within three years, the Tax Collector shall deed the property to the County. Before doing this, the Tax Collector must issue a PENDING ISSUE OF TAX DEED to any person holding a recorded interest in the property by certified mail. A Party of Interest may file a written request to be notified of a delinquency prior to deeding to the County. An AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE must be recorded as proof of any notifications to any recorded owners or parties of interest. Additional notification of delinquencies shall be published in a local newspaper for four consecutive weeks prior to deeding. Idaho Code 63-1007 allows for the recorded owner to redeem the property prior to the sale by the Commissioners by paying all delinquent years and the current year.

Tax Collection
Tax notices are mailed as early as possible in November each year. The tax notice is for the CALENDAR YEAR. All taxes on the first property roll are due Dec. 20 without late charges or interest. Tax may be paid in two halves; first half due Dec. 20 and a grace period on the second half until June 20 of the following year. Any portion of a tax can be paid at any time, but if there is a remaining balance of the first half not paid by Dec. 20, there is a 2 percent late charge applied immediately and 1 percent per month interest beginning Jan. 1 of the following year on the remaining balance. If the second half is not paid by June 20, there is a 2 percent penalty and 1 percent per month interest from Jan. 1, NOT JUNE 21.
There are two other rolls for taxes. One is the subsequent roll, which 
is mailed out as soon as possible after the closing of the Board of Equalization the first Monday of December. The tax is due on this roll 
30 days after mailing or as stated on the tax notice, with late charge 
and interest if delinquent. The missed property roll is sent the first 
part of February as soon as the BOE is closed.

Warrants of Distraint On Personal Property And Mobile Homes
The Tax Collector must issue a Warrant of Distraint to the County 
Sheriff if personal property or mobile homes are not paid on time. This 
gives the Sheriff the right to collect the tax with additional costs, and if not able to collect, the Sheriff can seize and sell any personal property belonging to the person taxed to satisfy taxes and charges. If property is sold or repossessed during the year, the Sheriff may pursue the collection of taxes from the new owner.
