About the Cataldo Property Market

Cataldo is a city located in Kootenai County, Idaho. Every property inside the Cataldo city limits is assessed by Kootenai County Assessor, which applies Idaho property tax rules uniformly across the county.

Because Cataldo property values are set at the county level, the $400,000 county median home value and 0.7% effective tax rate apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Cataldo home is over-assessed have the right to file a appeal directly with Kootenai County Assessor before the June (4th Monday) deadline.

Idaho allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a appeal, so Cataldo homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.

Cataldo Property Market Context

Region
West
Climate
Semi-arid to alpine

Cataldo homeowners navigate the same Idaho assessment system as every other community in the state, but local market dynamics mean over-assessments here have their own character.

Idaho market character

Idaho has seen some of the fastest home value appreciation in the country — Boise, Coeur d'Alene, and Idaho Falls have all recorded double-digit annual gains. Effective tax rates are moderate (~0.6%), but rapid appreciation means the dollar impact of an over-assessment is large.

How Idaho handles appeals

Idaho homeowners appeal first to the county Board of Equalization, then the State Board of Tax Appeals or District Court. Assessed value cannot be increased as a result of filing an appeal.

When to file in Cataldo

Notices mail by the first Monday in June. Appeals must be filed by the fourth Monday in June — roughly a three-week window.
