Assessor reports progress on 2026 residential reappraisal; board approves homestead-related tax reductions
Summary
Ada County assessor reported roughly 44,000 parcels are due for the 2026 reappraisal and that Board of Tax Appeals hearings start next week; the board approved the staff-recommended tax cancellations/reductions related to homestead exemptions.
Aaron Brady of the Ada County Assessor's Office reported to the board that roughly 44,000 residential parcels are scheduled for reappraisal for the 2026 assessment cycle and that staff are about halfway through that work. Brady said the Board of Tax Appeals hearings begin next week; he reported 39 distinct appeals, two of which have already been settled, and said most outstanding appeals involve commercial properties.
Brady explained that the items listed as "tax cancellations" on the agenda were reductions tied to homestead (homeowner) exemptions filed after the primary roll closure; he noted these are reductions to assessed value rather than full tax waivers and that taxes remain owed for the properties after the adjustment.
The board voted to approve the tax cancellations/reductions listed on the agenda for tax years 2023–2025 and authorized the chair to sign related documents.
Ending: The assessor will continue reappraisal work and proceed with the scheduled Board of Tax Appeals hearings.
