County notes
- The county publishes no tax deed auction property list online. Parcels headed to auction are advertised in the county's newspaper legal notices, and the Treasurer's Office provides the notice on request at (208) 934-5673.
- Idaho sells no tax lien certificates. A Gooding County buyer takes a property the county already owns by tax deed, and the former owner's right to redeem ends once the commissioners enter into a contract of sale.
- The Treasurer's Office posts a notice of pending issue of tax deed each spring listing parcels three years delinquent, with the amount owed and the commissioners' hearing date. Owners who pay before that hearing keep their parcel out of county inventory, so treat this notice as a preview of what may reach a later auction rather than a list of parcels already for sale.
- The 2026 pending tax deed notice listed three parcels, in Gooding and Hagerman, so the pool reaching auction in any given year is small.
- The Board of County Commissioners conducts the auction and can be reached at (208) 934-4841, P.O. Box 417, Gooding, ID 83330.
- The Treasurer's Office is open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Idaho rules
- Redemption
- The window belongs to the county's holding period, not to the auction. After the tax deed issues to the county, the record owner or a party in interest may redeem by paying the delinquency with late charges, accrued interest and costs including title search and professional fees, plus the taxes that accrued after the deed. That right runs only up to the moment the commissioners enter into a contract of sale or the property is transferred by county deed. Fourteen months after issuance it expires regardless. Since 31-808 requires the auction within those same fourteen months, a buyer at the county auction takes the property with the redemption already extinguished, and the tax deed is presumptive evidence of the regularity of everything before it.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
