STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 11625 The Idaho State Board of Tax Appeals provides taxpayer a cost- free opportunity to appeal what they believe are unfair property tax assessments. Currently when a property owner receives a favorable decision from the Board, it is only for the current tax year. This legislation proposes the value change would extend one additional year. This amendment to Section 63-3813, Idaho Code, assures a valuation does not automatically revert back to the old assessed value immediately following a successful appeal. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund or to local government funds. Contact Name:Lyle R.
