2025 Idaho REALTORS Legislative Session Review
The First Regular Session of the 68th Idaho Legislature completed its work on April 4, 2025, taking 89 legislative working days – 6 days fewer than 2024.
Idaho REALTORS® (IR) was at the negotiating table for many policy discussions and played a critical role in the passage of several pieces of legislation during the 2025 Idaho Legislative Session including HB354, authored by Idaho REALTORS® and Representative Dustin Manwaring (R-29), which will ensure all 44 Idaho counties administer the Homeowner’s Exemption in a uniform manner; HB266aa,aaS & SB1164aa, which ensure a more efficient inspection / reinspection process and timely permit responses from local governments; HB149, which is a consumer protection bill relating to “mortgage trigger leads” and correcting unintended consequences to property owners being solicited by these types of practices.
In addition, IR was proud to support legislation which will provide property tax and income tax relief to Idahoans in 2025 (HB40, HB304) and helped establish and adopt an interim housing committee (SCR103) over the summer, keeping private property rights and housing issues at the forefront of the Idaho Legislature’s discussions moving into 2026.
