Idaho H0843 eliminates proration of the homestead property tax exemption.

Idaho H0843 amends existing law to eliminate the proration of the homestead property tax exemption.

Instead, the full exemption will be in effect from January of the tax year in which a complete application is submitted and approved. The bill also outlines procedures for recovering improperly claimed property taxes and penalties for multiple exemptions. The changes are retroactive to January 1, 2026.
