What it costs to live in an Idaho city, with the tax district named.

A statewide property-tax average will not tell you the bill in Boise, Meridian, or Twin Falls. Pick a city. The income-tax line comes from the Idaho Tax Commission. The property-tax line comes from one certified code area, and the page says which one.

$503,852 Typical Boise home value, August 2026. This is the Zillow Home Value Index, not a sale price. Data provided by Zillow Group.

0.9202% Boise code area 01, the 2025 certified levy. A different Boise address can be in a different code area.

0.4479% Meridian code area 03-15. Lower than Boise on this certificate, and still not every Meridian address.
