Data center property taxes tell a similar story. A proposed $4 billion data center in Kuna, Idaho, for example, could pay property taxes on only about 10% of its actual value, the representative said. Big Data advocates for the huge sales tax break toId legislators that property tax reductions would be a benefit to local taxpayers. It modernized Idaho’s approach by requiring payment of property taxes, establishing energy and water standards, and requiring regular public reporting. That means fair taxation that gives property tax relief, affordable utility rates, safeguards our water and ensures our communities share in the benefits — not just the costs.
