Resident/Non-Resident Policy
Residents of the City of Boise directly contribute to the operation of the Boise Parks and Recreation Department's programs and services by paying their property taxes.
The Fair-Share Policy (non-resident fee) allocates an additional fee to non-resident users so that they also contribute, on an equitable basis, to the overall financing of the department's operations.
Who is a resident?
Boise residents live within the city limits. The boundaries that the U.S. Post Office uses and those that determine the city limits are not the same. Even though you may have a Boise mailing address, you may not live within City of Boise limits. Do you have questions about residency? Please visit the Ada County Assessor’s website at or call (208) 287-7262 for assistance.
