Idaho has no state real estate transfer tax. Recording a deed carries a county recording fee; check the recorder for the property. Idaho counties mail property-tax bills in November; payment is due December 20, or half by December 20 and the balance by June 20 of the next year. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Often, yes, if the sale closes before the trustee's sale. With a deed of trust, the lender can foreclose without going to court. A trustee's sale cannot happen until at least 120 days after the notice of sale is mailed. The notice must also be published once a week for four weeks, with the last publication at least 30 days before the sale; the trustee must try to serve an adult occupant and post the notice. You can usually reinstate within 115 days after the notice of default is recorded by paying the overdue amount and allowed costs and fees. Principal that would not otherwise be due is excluded, but any amount already due still has to be paid. For a regulated lender's loan on your main home with a homeowner's exemption, the notice of default includes a loan-change request form. If the lender receives it within 30 days, the sale cannot happen until the lender answers. At the lender's request, the trustee can postpone the sale by announcing it at the sale; each postponement can be no more than 30 days and can be repeated. For covered primary-home loans from a regulated lender, the trustee must mail at least 14 days' notice before a postponed sale. There is no right to buy the house back after a trustee's sale. After a court foreclosure, the owner can generally redeem within six months after the sale, or one year if the land is more than 20 acres. A contract to sell during a trustee-sale foreclosure must include an Idaho-required notice; you have five business days to cancel, and no money or interest in the house can change hands until those five days pass. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Pocatello’s incorporated city area overlaps Bannock and Power Counties, but the citywide result does not identify a parcel’s county or its tax, court, or service jurisdiction. Use the property address and parcel details with the official map and the appropriate county office.
