Landautomate keeps an operating calendar for independent landlords: what needs doing on a rental, when it is due, and why. This page is the Idaho content from our reviewed rule base. Every item below carries its sources and the date we last checked them.
This guide is the reading version of our Idaho rule base. In the app, the same rules become dated tasks on each of your Idaho properties, timed to your purchase date, lease dates, property age, and climate, with an email before each one is due. The free preview shows a sample of that schedule for Idaho in under a minute, no account needed.
Idaho landlords commonly track 5 state and local compliance obligations, each listed below with its schedule, its sources, and the date we last verified it. Among them: file the Idaho annual report if an LLC or other entity holds the property, pay first-half Idaho property tax installment by December 20, and pay second-half Idaho property tax installment by June 20.
If an LLC or other registered business entity holds the property, it must file a free online annual report with the Idaho Secretary of State by the last day of its anniversary month (the month its formation or Idaho registration took effect) each year after the year it formed or registered, and a missed report can lead to administrative dissolution or, for an out-of-state entity, termination of its Idaho registration.
The first half of Idaho property tax is due December 20, after which a 2% late charge plus 1% monthly interest applies to the delinquent amount.
The second half of Idaho property tax is due June 20 of the following year, and paying late adds a 2% late charge plus 1% monthly interest counted back to January 1.
Idaho law (Idaho Code 6-321) requires refunding the deposit within 21 days after the tenant surrenders the property, or within the period the rental agreement sets but never more than 30 days, with a signed statement itemizing any amount kept and what it was spent on, and a late or improper refund lets the tenant sue for damages that a court may treble.
Idaho law requires approved smoke detectors in every rental unit and a check that they work at the start of each rental agreement, and skipping it lets the tenant sue for damages or install detectors after 72 hours' notice by certified mail and deduct the cost from the next month's rent.

Landlords in Idaho plan upkeep around a cold climate: this guide lists 6 seasonal maintenance items for Idaho in calendar order, each with its timing and the date we last verified it. Among them: smoke and CO detector seasonal test, create defensible space and clear debris before peak wildfire season, and furnace inspection before heating season.
Idaho snowmelt can run off ground that is still frozen, from February in the low valleys to March and April in higher towns, so clearing gutters and downspouts, confirming soil slopes away from the foundation, and checking the roof and foundation for winter damage keeps meltwater out of basements and crawl spaces.
An annual full test of smoke and CO detectors (beyond battery swaps) confirms every alarm actually sounds.
Idaho's large wildfires mostly burn from July into September, so clearing dry vegetation, fallen leaves, and other flammable debris from at least 30 feet around the home before July helps keep fire from spreading to the structure and gives firefighters a safe area to work.
Median first freezes arrive in early September in mountain towns such as McCall, in mid to late September around Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and Sandpoint, in early October in the Magic Valley, and in mid to late October in the Treasure Valley, Coeur d'Alene, and Lewiston, so draining hose bibs, disconnecting hoses, and blowing out sprinkler lines ahead of your area's first freeze keeps a hard freeze from cracking pipes, valves, and backflow preventers.
A pre-season furnace inspection prevents mid-winter heating failures and carbon monoxide risk.
Clearing gutters after leaf drop prevents ice dams and roofline water damage in winter.
Every rental needs the same baseline care regardless of state: this guide tracks 16 recurring upkeep items, each with its schedule and the date we last verified it. Among them: CPA tax document preparation, gutter inspection, and HVAC filter replacement.
