See, this all depends on where you’re moving here from. Now, I’m single and I rent, so it’s not quite as much of an issue for me, but the main problem I’ve noticed around here is property taxes. Especially in Ada County.
It might be different—Jeff, you’re in my Dad’s hometown of Emmett, is that correct?—elsewhere in the state, but the State of Ada as it’s known has some unusually high property taxes.
I answered your post, but it disappeared. So, I’ll try again. I have heard the same about Ada county, although that is where my family lives. We would rather live in a smaller community in Southwest Idaho. We are not your typical Californians moving to a smaller state. We don’t have boatloads of money and will probably have a small mortgage, so we have to be careful.
Please put me on your Idaho ping list. Thanks.
