A. Ada County Assessor:Assessor Robert McQuade will give a report to the Mayor and Council.
Mr. McQuade stated that assessment notices would be mailed out to all residents by the end of May.
He discussed the one-time tax reduction offered by the State of Idaho last year and its effect on
homeowners. He then provided a brief overview of the current property values, residential and
commercial,and the process of how those values are reached. He discussed the New Construction Roll
and how the different categories change as property is developed or use is changed. He further
explained that the new Homeowners Exemption law allows homeowners to claim their exemption until
the end of the year rather than the original date of April 15t. This change causes the taxable market
values to continually change throughout the entire year and in some cases causes a tax rebate for the
homeowner. When asked, Mr. McQuade said that the City's levy rate is one of the lowest in Ada
County. The power point from Mr.McQuade's presentation is attached to these minutes.
