Butte City, Idaho Property Appraisals
Butte City is one of the smallest incorporated cities in eastern Idaho, and its homes still need careful, local valuations. Dixon Appraisal Services appraises houses, lots and acreage in Butte City for sales, refinances and estates.
Getting to Know Butte City
- Butte City is one of three incorporated cities in Butte County, along with Arco and Moore.
- The town counted fewer than 100 residents in the 2020 census.
- It sits a few miles east of Arco on the shared US-20 and US-26 highway, at about 5,315 feet.
- Butte County takes its name from the volcanic buttes on the desert plain, the largest being Big Southern Butte, which rises about 2,500 feet above the desert floor.
Valuing Homes in a Very Small Town
Most properties in Butte City are single-family homes on town lots, with some larger parcels and open ground at the edges. Manufactured homes and older frame houses are both part of the mix.
With so few sales inside city limits, an appraiser has to reach into Arco, Moore and the rest of the county for comparables. Knowing how a Butte City lot differs from an Arco lot, and how highway frontage changes things, keeps the value grounded.
Appraisals We Complete in Butte City

- Refinance & Purchase: An impartial value so your lender knows the home supports the loan amount.
