HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION – Amends existing law to clarify that an Idaho state-issued driver’s license or identification card is required to apply for the homestead property tax exemption.

H 316 requires Idaho homeowners applying for the homestead property tax exemption to provide an Idaho state-issued driver's license or identification card number. This applies to most applicants, with exceptions for active military personnel (who need not provide it for initial applications) and new residents who have 90 days to submit the ID after applying. The bill clarifies documentation requirements for the exemption but does not change the exemption amount ($125,000 or 50% of property value) or eligibility rules. It became law retroactive to January 1, 2025.
