Kootenai County's Homeowner Property Tax Exemption Reduced by $8,066

I have a home in Ca., 10 acres in Worley ID, I just put an offer in on a home in Rathdrum ID and found that since this home would not be my primary home that I do not meet the property tax excemption program, the difference goes from $1200.00 per year to $3700.00 a year, how can this be possible that it jumps 3 times the amount that it should be on a home that I would like to buy at $130,000.00.

I am purchaceing this property to move in a few years and in the mean time come up and fix the place up about 3 - 4 months out of the year so that when I do move it is ready for me and my wife.

To qualify for this it is stated on the assessors site these qualification:

• Vehicle is licensed in Idaho (if you own a vehicle).
• Registered Idaho voter (if you vote)
• If you file income tax, at the appropriate time the property owner would file a full year Idaho resident income tax return.
• You reside in Idaho for a majority of the year
• If the property is in a trust, bring the entire trust with you for us to review and determine eligibility.
• A valid Idaho drivers license (if you drive)

Know if I have a ID dirvers licence, Reg. voter in ID, file part of my income taxes in ID from my internet sales and have a living trust, can I be eligable for this exception or is there another way that I would not have to pay such high tax rate.
