Plan your next step

Estimate a bill and check your assessment

Census survey estimates, 2020–2024. These county medians describe a survey population; they do not establish your home’s correct assessment.

Median home value
$512,300
Median annual taxes paid
$2,655
Estimated effective rate
0.52%

Census home values, Census taxes paid. Last verified 2026-10-24. Rate = median taxes ÷ median home value. Displayed rates are rounded; calculations use the unrounded ratio.

Example at $512,300: $2,655 per year, using the Census estimate.

Is my assessment too high?

At the default market value and bill, both equal the county medians. Being above a median does not establish overassessment. Assessed or taxable values may use a different basis and cannot be compared directly with Census market values.

Appeal timing and filing

File primary-roll appeals by the fourth Monday of June; consult the county for other assessment rolls.

How to file: Ada County Commissioner’s Office, for the Board of Equalization.

State guidance: First appeal assessment or exemption denial to the county Board of Equalization; its decision may then go to the state Board of Tax Appeals or District Court within 30 days.
