How Idaho tax deed sales work
When property taxes in Idaho stay unpaid, the county takes a tax deed to the property. The county commissioners then sell it under Idaho Code 31-808, setting a minimum bid equal to the taxes, interest and costs. Parcels that do not sell can later be sold in a public or private sale.
The record owner can redeem under Idaho Code 63-1007 until the commissioners enter a contract of sale or transfer the property by county deed, which in practice means until the property is sold. Once the sale starts, redemption is over.
Where Deed Trail covers Idaho
Deed Trail covers Kootenai County, which sells online through the kootenai.id.realforeclose.com auction site. Kootenai holds one tax deed sale a year, in September, and times are Pacific. Idaho has 44 counties; the other counties sell in person at the courthouse and are not covered.
What the winning bidder receives
The successful bidder receives a county deed. Buyers should still check the parcel for easements, special assessments and any lien that survives the tax deed, and inspect the property, since sales are as-is.
