Property Tax Rebate for Family Child Care Providers
In December 2024, the City of Boise approved $925,000 in property tax relief for certain groups of residents, including licensed in-home child care providers. Providers are eligible for up to $500 in property tax relief if they are licensed, own their home, and are actively providing child care services.
The city’s Property Tax Rebate Program was authorized by the Idaho Legislature’s House Bill 550, passed in March 2022, which allows Idaho municipalities to offer property tax rebates using general funds. The program went into effect in 2023, though child care providers were not eligible during the first year.
