DISCLAIMER: This calculator provides estimates only and is not a substitute for your actual tax bill or utility statement. Actual costs depend on your specific assessed value, water usage, meter size, sewer connection type, garbage service level, and stormwater impervious area. These figures are estimates for illustration purposes only. Verify all amounts against your actual bills and the City of Moscow fee schedule before making financial decisions.

Methodology: Property tax uses city-only levy rate (Moscow $3.64, Lewiston ~$5.76, CdA ~$2.15 per $1,000 taxable value) with Idaho homeowner exemption (first $125,000 exempt per Idaho Code 63-602G). City levy is only one portion of total property tax — county, school, highway, and other districts are not included.

Water: All three cities use actual rate structures. Moscow: $44.78/mo fixed + 3 tiers ($3.33/CCF 0-300 CF, $3.95/CCF 301-1000 CF, $6.70/CCF 1001+ CF). CdA: $11.22/mo fixed + 3 tiers in Kgal ($1.22 0-30, $1.75 31-50, $2.38 50+). Lewiston: $39.00/mo fixed + flat $0.03769/CF. Usage estimated from home size (~500 CF/mo at 1,800 SF).
Sewer: Flat monthly residential rate (Moscow $58.51, CdA $57.62, Lewiston $52.09). Does not vary by home size.
Garbage: Based on estimated can size by home GSF (under 1,200 SF: 35-gal, 1,200-2,800 SF: 65-gal, over 2,800 SF: 95-gal). Moscow 65-gal: $28.43/mo, CdA 64-gal: $10.71/mo, Lewiston 64-gal: $25.15/mo.
Stormwater: Flat 1 ESU/ERU for single-family residential (Moscow $8.65/mo, CdA $3.76/mo, Lewiston $7.40/mo).
