A typo resulting in a multimillion dollar property value assessment error is expected to affect multiple taxing districts in Kootenai County and delay the distribution of property tax notices.
Kootenai County has asked 12 cities to withhold building permits for new construction unless cities receive proof of payment for proposed county impact fees supporting the sheriff’s office, jail and parks and waterways.
Some city leaders said the move will cost local taxing districts thousands of dollars. Meanwhile, the county asserts the change is based on a section of Idaho Code.
