Learn moreIdaho's flat income tax
Idaho's flat 5.3% individual income tax rate (cut from 5.695% via House Bill 40, signed March 2025, and described by Governor Little's office as the largest income tax cut in state history) applies the same in Blackfoot as anywhere else in Idaho.
No local sales tax add-on
Blackfoot pays Idaho's flat 6% state sales tax rate with no local add-on -- Blackfoot is not one of Idaho's small, tourism-dependent 'resort cities' (Sun Valley, Ketchum, McCall) eligible for a voter-approved local-option sales tax.

Bingham County's property tax rate runs 0.49%-0.50% effective per most sources reviewed, though a separately cited 'average collected as a percentage of assessed value' figure runs notably higher at 0.72% -- both genuinely below the 1.02% national median.
