2022 Ada County Assessment Appeal - Help Please!

[Bryan Morris]

Hello Boise BP Community!

I, like everyone else in the Treasure Valley, received their county property tax assessment and noticed it increased 46% from 2021. I plan to appeal this as even with as hot a market we're in 46% is still way higher than any appreciation I've seen. 

I found the website for the Idaho Board of Tax Appeals here: https://bta.idaho.gov/#:~:text.... 

As well as the form for filling out the appeal here: https://bta.idaho.gov/wp-conte... 

My question to everyone is has anyone successfully appealed the tax assessment and what evidence did you use to support the appeal? 

Thank you all and I hope these links and conversation can help anyone else looking to do the same thing. I know I'm not the only one and others have it a lot worse, my co-worker's assessment went up 84%!

Cheers!

An agent has access to sales data on the MLS so you can get a fairly accurate assessment of value. The property tax percentage seems rather high, but when you consider how low the increase was during the pandemic even though property values were significantly growing, we actually got a break during that period. Now the counties are essentially playing catch-up. From the assessments that I received so far they seem reasonable. Definitely an increase but still significantly below market value.
