Idaho Tax Sale Questions
Can I buy a tax-lien certificate in Idaho?▾
No. Idaho has no tax-lien certificate for investors. The county first deeds the delinquent property to itself after about three years, then resells it at a county commissioners' auction.
Is there a redemption period after I buy at the auction?▾
No. The owner's redemption right ends when the county takes its tax deed and is fully extinguished once the commissioners contract to sell, so a purchaser at the resale auction takes the property with no redemption exposure.
When are Idaho tax-deed auctions held?▾
There's no fixed statewide date. Counties must auction tax-deeded property within 14 months of the tax deed issuing to the county, and each county schedules its own sale — often annually or as inventory accumulates.
How does bidding work in Idaho?▾
It's a highest-bidder auction run by the board of county commissioners, though some counties use sealed bids. The minimum bid typically covers back taxes, costs, and sometimes market value.
