COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — The Idaho State Tax Commission said it lacks authority to investigate a complaint about Kootenai County’s failure to provide “accurate and timely” property value information.
Kootenai County Treasurer Steve Matheson submitted the complaint Jan. 4, on the heels of county assessor Béla Kovacs’ own request that the tax commission audit the work processes of five county departments, including his own.
“Fundamentally, the issues that Kootenai County have brought to the tax commission’s attention are matters of administrative and management discretion,” a Feb. 2 response letter said in part. “It would not be appropriate for the tax commission to involve itself in these issues.”
Both Matheson and Kovacs submitted their complaints under an administrative rule addressing the investigation of written complaints “related to property tax assessment or administration.”
