Under Idaho's homestead exemption, the $175,000 protection applies to which of the following?

Correct Answer

B) The owner's primary residence equity from most unsecured creditors, up to $175,000

Idaho's homestead exemption protects up to $175,000 of equity in a homeowner's primary residence from most unsecured creditors, such as credit card companies or medical debt collectors. It does not protect against secured creditors like mortgage lenders or certain tax liens. This exemption amount is higher than many other states and applies only to the owner's declared primary residence, not commercial or investment properties.

Answer Options
A
All real property owned by an Idaho resident, regardless of how it is used

The owner's primary residence equity from most unsecured creditors, up to $175,000
C
Commercial property that also serves as the owner's primary place of business
