Boise County, ID Property Records

Property records in Boise, Idaho provide official information about real estate, including parcel ownership, assessed value, property tax details, legal descriptions, land use, building characteristics, and recorded documents such as deeds or liens. These records are useful for homeowners, buyers, real estate professionals, researchers, and anyone verifying ownership, reviewing tax history, or evaluating a property before a transaction.

Boise County, ID Property Records & Statistics

Boise County has a median rent of $778.50, below both the Idaho median of $841.50 and the national median of $840.25. Renting is also less common here: 15.77% of occupied homes are renter-occupied, compared with 21.77% in the state and 21.81% nationally, which suggests a market where most households own.

Home values run high. The county's median home value is $283,650, above Idaho's $245,725 and well above the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 0.5% is slightly below the state rate of 0.52% and much lower than the national rate of 0.74%, so buyers face high prices but a comparatively light tax rate.

The median household income in Boise County is $60,218.50, lower than the state figure of $63,832 and the national figure of $65,108. Combined with higher home values, that suggests housing is relatively costly for local earners even though rents are modest.

The unemployment rate is 2.98%, higher than the state's 2.22% and just above the national 2.87%. Overall, the numbers describe an owner-heavy county with expensive homes, low rents, light property taxes, and incomes and employment that trail the state and national benchmarks. Prospective buyers should weigh the high purchase prices against the low rents and light tax rate, while renters will find a smaller rental market than elsewhere in Idaho.

Assignment and Release Records

Assignment and release records track what happens to a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment shows that a mortgage was transferred from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that a mortgage was paid off and the lien removed from the property.

Boise County has 13,383 assignment and release records. They include 1,208 assignment documents and 12,146 release documents, along with 29 other documents. Assignments were recorded from January 3, 2005, through August 7, 2025, and releases from January 3, 2005, through August 19, 2025.

These records show who holds a mortgage on a property and whether earlier loans have been cleared. Buyers, owners, and researchers can use them to confirm that past mortgages were released, trace a loan between lenders, and spot loans that may still be open before a sale or refinance. The long date range makes it easy to focus on documents from a specific period in a property's history. Recorded documents can be requested through the Boise County Clerk-Auditor-Recorder.
