The county takes the land by tax deed if the taxes stay unpaid for 3 years after they become delinquent. A missed payment adds a 2% late charge, and interest runs at 1% a month from January 1 after the year the tax lien attached. Before the deed, the tax collector must send a certified-mail notice 2 to 5 months ahead, and you can be heard by the county commissioners. You also owe the costs of that notice and the tax deed process. Paying the full delinquency, late charges, interest and costs before the deed stops it.

Yes, until the county signs a sale contract or transfers it by county deed, but no later than 14 months after the tax deed. You pay the delinquency, late charges, interest and costs, including title search fees, plus taxes for the years since the deed. If the county's sale brings more than the taxes and county costs, lienholders who claim within 60 days of the county's notice are paid first. The rest goes to the owner of record when the tax deed issued. With the State Treasurer's consent, the county can send that money to the Treasurer, who pays it out under Idaho's unclaimed property law. Source: Idaho Code 63-1007 and 31-808.

Not the state property condition disclosure form, if the land has no dwelling on it.

The owner must notify the Idaho Department of Water Resources within 120 days of an ownership change, with a $25 fee per right. A water right can be lost if it is not put to beneficial use for 5 years, unless an exception applies. Ask a water rights attorney or your title company which rights go with your parcel.

You may, if you have a gain. Idaho taxes nonresidents on income from the sale of real property located in Idaho. A nonresident must file an Idaho return if gross income from Idaho sources is more than $2,500 for the year. Ask a tax adviser how this applies to your sale and to your home state return.
