Washington County, ID – Washington County Assessor Debbie Moxley-Potter is encouraging residents who qualify for property tax benefits under the Property Tax Reduction Program (Circuit Breaker) and Veteran’s Property Tax Benefit to hurry up and apply before the April 18 deadline.
Due to recent changes in legislation, the income limit for the Property Tax Reduction (Circuit Breaker) tax credit program has increased to $37,000 from $33,870 in 2022. In addition, the property valuation cap has been increased to the greater of $400,000 or 200% of the median assessed value for properties receiving the homeowner’s exemption.
