Idaho Transaction Considerations

  • Idaho is a community property state. Idaho Code 32-912 lets either spouse manage, control and bind the community, but both spouses must join to sell, convey or encumber community real estate
  • Idaho's growing technology sector in the Boise corridor has created an active M&A market with unique intellectual property and workforce considerations
  • Water rights in Idaho are valuable property interests that may need to be separately transferred or assigned in agricultural and certain industrial acquisitions

Idaho Legal Framework for Home Services M&A Legal Services

Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable under statutory framework. 18-month maximum for employees.

Enforceable under Idaho Code Section 44-2701 et seq. (Idaho Non-compete Act). Restrictions must be reasonable and are limited to 18 months for employees. Key employees and independent contractors may be subject to longer terms. The Act requires non-competes to be supported by consideration separate from initial employment.

Tax Considerations

Idaho imposes a flat 5.3% corporate income tax. As a community property state, Idaho lets either spouse manage, control and bind community property, but both spouses must join to sell, convey or encumber community real estate, under Idaho Code 32-912. Idaho generally conforms to federal tax treatment of acquisitions, including Section 338(h)(10) elections.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions are filed with the Idaho Secretary of State. Annual reports are required. Certain transactions involving financial institutions require approval from the Idaho Department of Finance.

Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Idaho has repealed UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales). Buyers should request a tax clearance from the Idaho State Tax Commission before closing asset acquisitions, as successor liability for unpaid sales and withholding taxes can apply.
