The tax collection calendar runs year-round.  Property taxes are paid in arrears with the first-half payment due no later than December 20th of each year.  If you pay the 1st half on time, you can delay paying the second half to June 20th of the next year.

These dates cause many difficulties for taxpayers.  These dates were established in 1863 by the Idaho Legislature.  Why I do not know.  I do know
