The following is a news release from Bannock County.
BANNOCK COUNTY, Idaho – Certain Idahoans could save up to $1,500 on their property taxes, and the Bannock County Assessor is encouraging folks to see if they qualify.
The Property Tax Reduction (PTR) program, formerly known as the “circuit breaker,” reduces property taxes for seniors, widows, widowers, recognized disabled persons, disabled veterans, former POW, and blind folks if their annual income is $37,810 or less. Applications for 2025 are due April 15.
“This is such a great program that can help people on a fixed income stay in their homes. We want to make sure everyone in Bannock County who qualifies receives this benefit,” said Assessor Anita Hymas.
The Bannock County Assessor’s Office is hosting several open houses throughout the community to answer questions and assist those applying. Applicants or those who think they may qualify are also welcome to call or visit the Assessor’s Office for assistance or questions.
More information about the Property Tax Reduction program and other property tax programs can be found at bannockcounty.gov/assessor or by calling 208-236-7260.
