How Idaho tax sales work

Sale Type
Tax Deed
Idaho sells the actual property deed at auction. The winning bidder receives ownership of the property (subject to certain surviving liens and title clearing requirements).
Redemption Period
No post-sale redemption
After three years of delinquency the county takes a tax deed to itself (Idaho Code 63-1005). The former owner can still redeem for up to 14 months after that, until the county contracts to sell (63-1007). The county then sells at public auction (31-808); the buyer faces no redemption period, and money above the taxes and costs goes to lienholders and the former owner.
The former owner's 14-month redemption window runs against the county and closes when the county contracts to sell, so it does not apply to an auction buyer (Idaho Code 63-1007).
Avg Property Tax Rate
0.69%
Below the national average (1.1%). Lower tax rates often mean smaller opening bids and lien amounts.
Homestead Rules
Special Rules Apply
Homestead exemption available.

Words used on this page

Redemption period
A window after the sale when the old owner can pay up and take the property back.
Homestead exemption
A tax break on an owner's main home. It changes what the minimum bid includes.
Opening bid
Where bidding starts. It is not a price or a value. Often it is just the tax owed.
Tax deed
The county sells the property itself. The winner owns it.

Before you bid in Idaho

What can survive the sale and become yours

  • IRS federal tax liens

Other things to check

  • Idaho is a tax deed state: counties auction land they already own by tax deed, with a minimum bid of at least the taxes, interest and costs (Idaho Code 31-808).
  • There are no lien certificates to buy and no redemption after the auction.
  • Each county sets its own terms; Lemhi County, for example, sells on Public Surplus with a $500 deposit, an 8% buyer premium and payment within 5 days.
  • Growing Boise metro has increased competition.

How we rate these

Every listing says one of four things. Next to it is how many facts we hold for it, and what that much evidence is good enough for.

Worth a look
We hold the four basics (what is being sold, when, for how much, and what the property is) and nothing we hold argues against it. A claim about our record, not a promise about the property.
Needs review
We hold the basics, but a named finding wants a human first: a possible lien under the owner's name, a flood or environmental record, no mapped public road, a property check that fired, an opening bid at or above the value we hold for the parcel, or a sale the county reports as postponed.
Screened out
We hold positive evidence of a problem: recorded debt or an IRS lien that survives the sale, a lot too small to be a real parcel, a sale the county reports as over, or a sale date already past. The card names it.
Not enough data yet
One of the four basics is missing. This is not a bad rating: missing data can never produce a negative verdict.
N of 12 facts on file
How many of the 12 facts we track for this parcel we actually hold: sale kind, auction date, entry price, property class, value, lot size, living area, legal description, road access, title search, condition, sale terms. The same count on the board, the deal page and in Flexy. Hover the bar on any card to see which are still missing.

One number cannot say both how good a parcel looks and how much we actually know about it, and a low number reads as a verdict. So we do not print one. “Not enough data yet” is not a judgement about the property.

Idaho tax sale FAQ

Idaho is a tax deed state. After three years of delinquency the county takes a tax deed to itself (Idaho Code 63-1005). The former owner can still redeem for up to 14 months after that, until the county contracts to sell (63-1007). The county then sells at public auction (31-808); the buyer faces no redemption period, and money above the taxes and costs goes to lienholders and the former owner.

Idaho has no redemption after the sale. The owner's chance to pay the taxes ends before the county or State takes the property or the sale starts; once it is sold, the deed is final.

DeedFlex aggregates Idaho tax sale listings from county auction platforms and gives each property a plain-English verdict: Worth a look, Needs review, Screened out, or Not enough data yet. Next to it is how far the research has got on it. Start with Pro ($59/mo, flat) to browse all available Idaho properties with full deal analysis.

Key risks include: IRS federal tax liens. Idaho is a tax deed state: counties auction land they already own by tax deed, with a minimum bid of at least the taxes, interest and costs (Idaho Code 31-808). There are no lien certificates to buy and no redemption after the auction. Each county sets its own terms; Lemhi County, for example, sells on Public Surplus with a $500 deposit, an 8% buyer premium and payment within 5 days. Growing Boise metro has increased competition.

Opening bids vary widely by county and property. Idaho has an average property tax rate of 0.69%, which influences opening bid amounts. DeedFlex shows the opening bid for every listed property. Where we hold a market value we can stand behind, we show it; where we do not, we say so rather than print a number we cannot support.
