- Assessed market value: $2,000,000

Meridian Seller FAQ
How do I sell commercial property in Meridian, ID?
Start with a rent roll, twelve months of expenses and the latest Ada County assessment notice. Buyers then price the building on net income, Meridian's 4.1% rental vacancy and the $1,540 HUD FY2027 two-bedroom benchmark. Skyline Capital Investments buys 5+ unit buildings directly, so owners can sell multifamily property in Meridian without a public listing.
Which numbers matter most if I sell commercial real estate in Meridian, ID?
Buyers focus on rent, vacancy and taxes. Median gross rent in Meridian is $1,805 in ACS 2020-2024, rental vacancy is 4.1%, and Ada County's 2025 average urban tax rate is 0.652%. Building age matters too, since Meridian's median year built is 2007.
How much property tax does a $2 million apartment building in Meridian pay?
At Ada County's 2025 average urban rate of 0.652%, a $2,000,000 building would owe about $13,040 a year. Idaho assesses property at market value each January 1 under Idaho Code 63-205. Appeals go to the county board of equalization by the fourth Monday of June.
Can Meridian cap how much I raise rent?

Under Idaho Code 6-321, the new owner becomes liable for refunding security deposits when a property changes ownership during a tenancy.
