Filer: a 1906 railroad town and the home of the county fair

Filer's official founding came in 1906, when the Oregon Short Line ran a branch line into the new farm settlement on the Twin Falls tract. The town was named for Walter G. Filer, manager of the Twin Falls Land and Water Company, a mining engineer and surveyor who supervised construction of Milner Dam. For more than a century Filer has hosted the Twin Falls County Fair and Rodeo, and the fairgrounds sit next to the town center. Filer is mostly residential and covers about one square mile, with irrigated farmland running right up to its edges.

What affects a Filer sale

Canals and flooding. The city's Comprehensive Plan 2045, adopted July 7, 2025, calls irrigation canals the lifeblood of the area but notes that many canals and ditches are open. Filer received a medium flooding-hazard ranking in the county's all-hazards mitigation plan, and the plan says flooding has occurred on the highway and other streets in town. If your lot sits near a canal or ditch, look it up on FEMA's map and tell us what you've seen.

Older houses. With half the town built before 1980, many homes have original electrical, plumbing or foundations. We buy them in that condition.

Lot size and utilities. City code requires central water and sewer for residential lots under one acre. If a larger parcel is on a well or septic system, bring whatever records you have.

Water shares. Properties on the edges of town sometimes carry irrigation rights. Share the details and we'll include what transfers with the property in our offer.

Manufactured homes. About one in ten units is a mobile home.

Estates. Selling as a personal representative? Some fiduciary sales skip Idaho's disclosure paperwork under §55-2505, and the estate's lawyer will know if that covers you.

Taxes. If you split Twin Falls County taxes, the halves come due on Dec. 20 and on June 20.
