This Idaho Declaration of Non-Abandonment of Homestead is designed for a single person. A Declaration of Homestead protects a certain amount of value in your home from being taken in order to satisfy a judgment. This Non-Abandonment Declaration is for use when unimproved or improved land will be occupied as a principal residence in the future. In Idaho, a homestead exemption is limited to $100,000 in value and is typically automatic from the time the home is occupied as a principal residence. An exception is if you are going to be absent for a continuous period of six months but do not intend to abandon the property. In this instance a Declaration of Non-Abandonment of Homestead must be recorded in the office of the recorder where the property is situated.
