United States · Transfer Tax
Idaho has no real estate transfer tax — the deed records tax-free at the county recorder's office. Closing costs are recording fees and title insurance, typically under $500 on a $450,000 Boise or Coeur d'Alene home. Idaho's property tax is moderate, but the state's fast-growing markets have made it a magnet for out-of-state buyers partly because acquisition is cheap on the tax side. The main cost consideration is insurance and the competitive market, not the closing tax bill.
