## Resource

Idaho’s 44 counties are set to receive nearly $49.6 million in federal PILT funding—compensation for hosting vast tracts of untaxed federal land. This annual payment helps offset the financial burden, funding critical services like roads, schools, and emergency response. Elmore County leads with $3.6 million, followed by Cassia and Blaine at $3.1 million and $3 million respectively. Senators Crapo and Risch highlight how this vital support enables rural communities to invest in their future despite the economic strain of federal land ownership.
