Nez Perce County Assessor: Property Tax Reduction (the Circuit Breaker) Applications (Assessor Dan Anderson)

The benefits are the State's: Idaho Code 63-701 to 63-705 (the Property Tax Reduction, or circuit breaker) and 63-705A (the veterans benefit); see the Idaho entries. The county Assessor takes the applications. The county's page. The Assessor's Property Tax Reduction (Circuit Breaker) page: "The Property Tax Reduction (Circuit Breaker) program reduces property taxes for qualified applicants. The amount of reduction is based on total household income for the previous calendar year. If you qualify, the property taxes on your home and up to one acre of land may be reduced by as much as $1,500." Its "Who qualifies?" section: "You may qualify for property tax reduction in 2027 if... You owned and lived in a house or mobile home in Idaho that was your primary residence before April 15, 2027... and Your total income for 2026 was $40,030 or less after deducting: Medical expenses not reimbursed by Medicare or other insurance. Total of paid or prepaid funeral expenses, up to $5000." Among the qualifying conditions: "Veteran with at least 10% service connected disability, or receiving VA pension for a nonservice-connected disability*". The page's income-exclusion list carries "VA compensation received by a veteran for a 40% to 100% service-connected disability & DIC", and the application route runs through the office: "Please contact the Assessor's Office for our current Property Tax Reduction Application and Medical Expense Statement. There is also an informational guide at Property Tax Reduction Program on the Idaho Tax Commission's website." What the page does not say. The 63-705A veterans benefit - up to $1,500 on the home of a veteran paid at the 100 percent rate, including unemployability, with the permanent-and-total rating spared reapplying - is the State's text and the Idaho entry carries it; the page names no 63-705A route of its own.
