Pardon my ignorance on this point, as I don't have the info. to hand, but 
it's my understanding that the state commission on property evaluation 
(or some similar entity) has the power, as in most other states, to 
regulate the property evaluation rates on which local millages depend for 
their total revenue. So these two controls are at work, one at state 
level pegged to evaluation, and a second at county level pegged to 
millage. The third part of the triangle of course is the county assessor 
who assigns your property's market value The tel. directories don't list 
any Idaho state commission on evaluation, so one has to call the County 
treasurer to clarify the matter -- which I shall do on Monday, this being 
Sunday. Does anybody out there have the cold facts on the matter? Ken M.
