Caveats
- Tax levied is the amount the Commission approved as levied, not collections; the Census figures elsewhere on this site use a different basis.
- The average rate is the Commission's own average urban and rural rate per county, not computed here from other figures.
- The levy breakdown covers tax years 2018-2025 only; earlier editions publish it only as a chart graphic, not a table.
- Four county or statewide rate figures differ between consecutive editions for the same year; the newer edition is kept.
- The homeowner's exemption cap was index-formula-based from 2006-2016 and a flat maximum before and after, stored as the publisher's own year-range figure.

Caveats
- Values are single-year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates; margins of error are not shown.
- Dollar figures are in that survey year's dollars, not adjusted for inflation across years.
- One-year estimates are not comparable to the Census Bureau's 5-year estimates for the same geography or measure, even when the years overlap.
- There is no standard 2020 ACS 1-year release: the Census Bureau replaced it with experimental COVID-19 estimates, so 2020 is omitted here.
- Place figures are for the incorporated city as the Census Bureau defines its boundary, not the metro area or county.
- Which of Idaho's places clear the 65,000-person floor for 1-year estimates can vary by year.
- A metro area is the set of counties the Office of Management and Budget assigns it in that year's delineation, so its boundary can change between years; Lewiston and Logan include counties in Washington and Utah.
- Counties and metro areas have no 2022 homeowner or rental vacancy rate here.
