Terms Used In Idaho Code 63-905

  • Deed: The legal instrument used to transfer title in real property from one person to another.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Property: includes both real and personal property. See Idaho Code 73-114
  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.
Upon payment of property taxes, the tax collector shall issue a receipt if requested by the taxpayer. The record of payment must show the date paid and the amount of payment. If the taxpayer is other than the equitable titleholder, such as an escrowee, trustee of trust deed or other third party, the taxpayer shall, upon request of the equitable titleholder, deliver to the equitable titleholder a receipt of property taxes paid. In the event payment is mailed to the tax collector, the cancelled check may serve as a receipt.
