What is a HOMESTEAD exemption?
People frequently ask whether a person must file under
the Homestead Act to protect his or her home from creditors
or a judgment. According to Idaho Code 55-1001 through
55-1005, a person does not need to file
under Idaho Homestead provisions to protect his or her homestead
if the home is occupied as a principle residence.
Homestead is defined as "the dwelling house or mobile home
in which the owner resides or intends to reside, with appurtenant
buildings, and the land on which the same are situated.." The
exemption amount shall not exceed the lesser of the total
net value of the lands, mobile home and improvements, or
$50,000.
If the property meets the definition of homestead, then it
is automatically protected. If a person owns unimproved
or improved land that is not yet occupied as a homestead,
then the owner must file a declaration of homestead, stating
that he or she intends to make the premises his or her principle
residence and include a legal description and an estimate
of the cash value. If a person owns land that is not
yet occupied as a homestead, but also owns another parcel
on which the owner presently resides, the owner must execute
a "declaration of abandonment" (55-1004(4)). This
prevents a person from claiming two homesteads at the same
time.
