Idaho has no cap on assessment increases — assessed value (and therefore tax) drifts up year over year. Budget for the drift.
Record run July 11, 2026 · Ada County Assessor pulled 7/11 (parcel R2024304733, Eric accepted the site ToU himself) · listing facts from Zillow. County beats Zillow beats Zestimate.
Listing facts (Zillow — verified)

- 1,596 sqft (total structure, incl. basement) · built 1936 · 10,018 sqft corner lot · No HOA.
- 2 bed / 1 bath on the main level + usable (unfinished-ish) basement for storage/hobbies/bonus.
- A/C: Central Air · brand-new furnace (per listing) · detached 2-car garage · mature trees, established landscaping, fire-pit area.

County record — Ada County Assessor (7/11)
- Parcel R2024304733 · Zone R-1C · Eagleson Park Add, Lots 14–16 + part of 13, Blk 36 · 0.230 ac · tax area 01-6.
- Owner of record: MAGEE HAILEY — an individual, NOT a flip (deed instrument #2023005388, bought 2023). Owner-occupant.
- 2026 assessed $358,000 (land $224,100 + improvements $133,900). Assessment trend: 2023 $327,400 → 2024 $341,700 → 2025 $364,400 → 2026 $358,000 — note the 2026 value came in ~$6,400 LOWER than 2025, a rare dip (most Bench parcels rose). 2025 county figure matched Zillow exactly.
- Actual tax (county “Total Taxes”): 2023 $1,940.78 → 2024 $1,974.42 → 2025 $2,216.50 (2026 not yet billed). The 2022 bill was a one-year spike ($3,266.44) before Magee’s 2023 purchase — the exemption-off/transfer year; under Magee the exemption is applied (~0.6% of assessed).
- Characteristics: 1936 Single Family · 1 bath (county bedroom count blank; listing says 2) · A/C: Yes (Central Air confirmed) · Total 1,596 sqft = 948 finished main floor + 648 UNFINISHED basement · 720 sqft detached 2-car garage · 100 sqft patio.
Reconciliation flags
- THE BIG ONE — the marketed 1,596 sqft is mostly unfinished. County records only 948 sqft of finished living (main floor); the other 648 sqft is UNFINISHED basement. The listing’s “usable basement” is exactly that — usable but unfinished. On finished area this is a ~948 sqft 2/1, so the ~$247/sqft “on 1,596” is really ~$417/sqft on finished space. Weigh accordingly.
- List $395,000 is ~$37k / ~10% over the 2026 assessed $358,000, and there’s already a $12.5K price cut (7/7) — the seller is moving. Negotiate against assessed + the finished-sqft reality.
- 2026 assessed dipped below 2025 ($364,400 → $358,000) — mild, but worth noting the value isn’t climbing.
- Owner-occupant (MAGEE HAILEY, individual, since 2023) — not a flip. Exemption applied; clean story.
- Last sale price: not publicly disclosed (Idaho non-disclosure; 2023 deed only). Dollar figure would come from Bridge/MLS (token unset).
