Buying in Idaho: what to know

No buyer’s taxes

Idaho has no buyer-paid transfer or mortgage tax. Buyers pay only recording fees.

No state transfer tax

Idaho has no state or local real estate transfer tax; only ordinary county recording fees apply. Idaho is also a non-disclosure state, so the sale price isn’t filed with the deed.

Title insurance

By Idaho custom the seller pays for the standard-coverage owner’s policy and the buyer pays for any upgrade to extended coverage. The purchase contract controls, so confirm with your title company.

Who runs the closing

Escrow and title companies close Idaho sales. An attorney isn’t required.

Property taxes and escrow

Idaho bills the calendar year in the fall. Taxes are due in full by December 20, or half by December 20 and half by June 20 of the next year. The seller typically credits the buyer from January 1 to closing.
