Ask a question or state your complaint:

I am a land owner. I have owned my property for over 15 years and have paid excessive taxes
on the property. It has been designated a buildable lot for the past 8 years. I finally have the
time and money to build on this lot. I went to bring the utilities to the property and the cost is
ridiculous, especially with the additional taxes that you are attaching to the costs. This 21.56%
This 21.56% fee is unreasonable for a private owner who is already getting over taxed by paying
full assessed property taxes. Most new developments in Ada county and Idaho are builders
raping beautiful useful farmland and foothills that are assessed at a low tax value. They are
paying very little taxes and the property does not get these with very little taxes and the
property does not get readjusted on Tax assessment until the improved property is sold. This is
also unfair to someone like myself- who is paying full taxes with no deductions over many
years. At least give R-1 rated lots that have had this designation for over 3 years and have paid
full taxes to be exempt of this over taxation. It makes my project to get water to my lot
unreasonable! Make it fair!
