You know you are ready to become a Boise State fan. Take a look at the beautiful Treasure Valley area. What a great place to relocate or start a new business.
If you have been on the moon for the past few years and haven’t seen the Boise State Fiesta Bowl highlights, here it is.
Taxes, taxes, taxes, what is the deal with property taxes. With the declining home values, people’s accessed values are also going down. For many this is a huge relief.
Real estate taxes for Idaho first time home buyers are paid twice a year to Ada County tax assessor and are collected in your monthly Boise mortgage payment (if you have impounds) and held in an escrow account until the tax bill comes due.
How can I lower my Ada County Property Taxes?
Right now many properties in Ada county are accessed 5-10% above appraised values . If you feel your property taxes are too high, you can contact Ada County Assessor, in Boise, and petition to have your property reassessed. If you have purchased or refinanced recently, you may be able to use that appraisal. If not, a new one will cost $400-$500. Give me a call and I will be glad to assist.
For Idaho first Time buyers in 2009, this will not be a problem. The properties that are being purchase now are mostly well under the assessed values. When a home is purchased the taxes are based on the new-lower value which in turn will drop the taxes.
If someone purchases a rental property, there will not be a home owners exemption on that property which means the taxes will be quite a bit higher until the exemption is filed. After that, the taxes will be reduced in the following tax year.
Another issue that Boise home buyers need to be aware of, is that if they buy a rental and the taxes are higher, that also means that it could affect their qualifying ratios. It could be a deal breaker. One way to get around this is to collect extra taxes at closing which will allow the Idaho home buyer to qualify at the lower tax rate. A Realtor should be all over this and avoid a potential disaster.
Boise, the capital of Idaho and its largest city with a population of over 200,000, sits at the base of a mountain range on the Boise River. Boise – Les Bois or “the trees”-was named by French trappers in the 1800’s when they came into the Boise River valley.
The elevation of Boise is 2,842 feet above sea level and is considered “high desert” with temperatures ranging from an average range of 22 – 36 degrees in January to 58 to 90 degrees in July. The Boise valley receives an average of 12 inches of precipitation per year. Boise’s climate has four definite seasons but rarely receives snow. However, snow in the mountains surrounding the valley provide numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. There isn’t a better place to be a first timehome buyer.
The Boise School District offers outstanding schools which serve over 25,000 students and employs 3,900 people including 1,700 certified staff. Their purpose statement – Educating Today for a Better Tomorrow – speaks to the district’s commitment to provide a quality education to all of its students.
Boise offers outdoor enthusiasts many opportunities. For bikers, hikers, and skaters, the Boise greenbelt, miles of paved pathways along the river’s edge, provides glimpses of the beautiful scenery and wildlife in the area. In addition, miles of paths in the foothills north of Boise are another avenue for bikers and hikers.
“Floating the River” is another activity for summer-time enjoyment. Barber Park, east of Boise, is the place where those seeking to escape the summer heat can launch on the Boise River for an afternoon of water refreshment. Bring your own raft or inner-tube or rent them there. Nothing better than the cool of the river on a hot summer day!
