Ada County treasurer outlines tax bills, $40.5M homeowner relief and big SDFF increase
Summary
Ada County Treasurer briefed commissioners that tax bills will be mailed to about 215,000–218,000 property owners, noted a homeowner tax-relief credit of $40,496,000 and a School District Facilities Fund payment of $47,394,000 (a roughly 74% increase), and set the tax due date as Dec. 22.
Ada County Treasurer Tim Klein briefed the Board of Commissioners on property tax charges and relief measures the public will see on this year’s bills. He said bills are at the printer and expected to be mailed in batches to roughly 215,000–218,000 property owners to reduce caller volume when payments begin.
Klein highlighted two state-provided relief items that will appear on bills. He said the Homeowner Tax Relief (HTR) credit will appear as a payment on qualifying taxpayers’ bills and that the HTR amount for this cycle is $40,496,000. He also said the School District Facilities Fund (SDFF) payment on the tax charge totaled $47,394,000 for this tax cycle, an increase of about 74% over the prior year. Klein emphasized that local officials control only roughly 21–23% of total tax charges; most elements reflect budgets set by separate taxing districts and state actions.
Klein told the board the county’s Cloverdale payment facility opened for public service and that the tax due date this year is Dec. 22 because Dec. 20 falls on a Saturday. He said staff expect phone calls to increase when bills start arriving. Commissioners did not record further action tied to the briefing.
