How hard (and expensive) is it to change names on home mortgage/deed?

My husband and I recently purchased our first home. My husband is active duty army so he does not need to become a resident to get the resident rate for property tax purchases. Since my name is on the mortgage papers we are not able to take advantage of this. I do not want to become a state resident because of other tax reasons (We are residents of Idaho for tax reasons-no state income tax on out-of-state military residents). Just wondering what is involved with taking me off the mortgage to save about 1200+ dollars a year? How much does it cost?
