Residents of Ada County are being targeted by con artists. If you receive a delinquent tax notice that looks like this – throw it away. This is a scam meant to victimize Idahoans.
The letters are from a place called the “Ada County Tax Processing Unit.” There is no such place. They look official but they are not.
You’ll read that you have unpaid taxes and that a lien is about to be placed on your property. If you call the number provided, the company says they are an intermediary in settlement negotiations. The Idaho Attorney General’s Office is aware of this scam and is working with Ada County to warn residents. Learn more at Ada County Reports Resurgence in Tax Scam Mailer
