IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
2024 1st half payments are due no later than Dec. 20, 2024. New US Postal delivery standards have delayed deliveries, so please remit your payment EARLY to avoid delinquent charges. All payments will be honored if postmarked on or before Dec. 20, 2024.

Tracie’s commitment to Canyon County began even before her full-time employment. In 1977, she started working part-time for the Canyon County coroner and the Canyon County Ambulance District. Her involvement with the ambulance service had family roots.

“My sister worked for the Twin Cities Ambulance District. We would sit and stuff envelopes for billing,” Tracie recalls. “When Twin Cities was in dire straits, they had to figure out a way to provide ambulance service to citizens. That’s when the decision was made to form the taxing district for the ambulance district.”

In 1981, Tracie officially began her full-time career with Canyon County. Sixteen years later, in 1997, she assumed the role of County Treasurer, a position she has held for the past 27 years.

As Treasurer, Tracie spearheaded numerous initiatives to modernize the office and improve services for residents, all without expanding her office and ensuring to remain focused on a lean and efficient team.

“We implemented credit cards and piloted a program for e-statements—I was the first one in the state to do that,” she says proudly. “In 2003 or 2004, we started outsourcing our tax notices, and we also opened up the ability for other offices countywide to start accepting credit cards.”

Tracie’s commitment to excellence extended beyond her office. She played a key role in establishing the Idaho Treasurer’s Association and developing a continuing education program in collaboration with Boise State University. The program offers three levels of certification: Certified Finance Official, Certified Professional, and Certified Financial Executive.

“Last year, I was recognized for completing 350 hours of continuing education,” Tracie notes.

Her leadership in the field was further acknowledged when she was elected president of the Idaho Treasurer’s Association in 2019, a position she held for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, she received the prestigious Mills-Adler Award from the Idaho Association of Counties (IAC) for outstanding service.

Throughout her tenure, Tracie has witnessed significant growth in Canyon County. “In 1981, our total tax roll charge was right at $18 million for all taxing districts countywide. Now we’re at over $248 million. Our total number of parcels was between 28,000 and 30,000, and now we’re at almost 110,000 parcels.”

Reflecting on her career, Tracie hopes to be remembered as someone who valued finding common ground and compromise. “I hope people will say that I might have an opinion, but I would agree to disagree. My biggest thing is we’ve got to find common ground,” she explains.

As she prepares to hand over the reins, Tracie offers advice to her successor: “Keep your head down, do your job, stay in your lane, but don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Be that person who’s willing to compromise.”

The Canyon County Board of Commissioners stated; “With a sense of gratitude Canyon County acknowledges the retirement/resignation of Tracie Lloyd, the Canyon County Treasurer. Tracie’s innovative approach and 47-year commitment to public service have set a high standard.

Tracie’s ability to update the Treasurer’s Office, while maintaining a strong and efficient team, is a true statement of her leadership. Tracie has streamlined processes that have enhanced services for all Canyon County constituents. The innovation, excellence, and professionalism left by Tracie will continue to shape Canyon County for years to come. We wish her all the best in her well-earned retirement.

Thank you, Tracie, for your commitment and service. You will be greatly missed, but your legacy will endure.”

In retirement, Tracie plans to continue sharing her knowledge through teaching and training. She also looks forward to traveling and spending time with her dogs and grandsons. Despite stepping down from her official role, she reassures her staff that she will always be available to support them.

As Tracie concludes her nearly five-decade career, her legacy of innovation, dedication, and compromise will continue to shape Canyon County’s financial landscape for years to come.

After an impressive career spanning almost half a century, Canyon County Treasurer Tracie Lloyd is set to retire on September 1, 2024. Her 47-year journey with the county has been marked by significant milestones, innovations, and unwavering dedication to public service.

There is a new service available through a joint effort from the Canyon County Assessor and Treasurer offices where a homeowner can find their property assessments and annual taxes for the past five years.

This can be accomplished by going to https://propertyreports.canyoncounty.id.gov/FiveYear/Index and accessing the Data Hub located through the Assessor or Treasurer webpages. All that’s needed is an address or parcel number to look up the five-year property assessment and tax history.

“The goal of this new tool was to create a place where homeowners or property owners could go and look up their annual property data on their own,” said Canyon County Assessor Brian Stender. “Not only does the report allow them to see the data but it also shows them specifics on how their tax dollars were spent throughout their tax districts.”

People who own property sometimes struggle with how changes in the estimated value of their property can affect how much they have to pay in property taxes. This detailed report gives a history of how property values and taxes have changed over time.

It shows that just because the estimated value of a property goes up or down doesn’t always mean the property taxes will go up or down by the same amount. The report also explains how different areas that collect property taxes benefit from the total amount of property tax money collected.

Regarding the 2023 property tax calculation, this report outlines the School Savings component of property tax relief introduced in HB292. However, it does not yet incorporate the property tax credits associated with the Homeowners Tax Relief (HTR) and the Additional Tax Relief (ATR) provisions of HB292.

Tax amounts are gross amounts, including school savings, and does not reflect State Reimbursement Credits.
