Taxpayer is responsible for record keeping:
Proof of payment is the responsibility of the taxpayer (Idaho Code 63-1306(2). The taxpayer is responsible for keeping accurate records of tax payments.
Taxpayers are encouraged to pay their taxes early:
To avoid late fees and interest, pay before the deadlines. Pre-payment and payment plans are welcome.
When mailing your tax payment:
Include your payment stub from your tax bill, to help us process your payment efficiently.
Be sure the envelope is USPO postmarked before or on the due date. A post office cancellation is considered the filing date. A postage meter is not an acceptable post office cancellation mark. (Idaho Code 63-217).
Notify the Assessor’s Office whenever your mailing address changes.
