We generalize Condition (K) from directed graphs to Boolean dynamical systems and show that a locally finite Boolean dynamical system $(\mathcal{B},\mathcal{L},\theta)$ with countable $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{L}$ satisfies Condition (K) if and only if every ideal of its $C^*$-algebra is gauge-invariant, if and only if its $C^*$-algebra has the (weak) ideal property, and if and only if its $C^*$-algebra has topological dimension zero. As a corollary we prove that if the $C^*$-algebra of a locally finite Boolean dynamical system with $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{L}$ are countable either has real rank zero or is purely infinite, then $(\mathcal{B}, \mathcal{L}, \theta)$ satisfies Condition (K). We also generalize the notion of maximal tails from directed graph to Boolean dynamical systems and use this to give a complete description of the primitive ideal space of the $C^*$-algebra of a locally finite Boolean dynamical system that satisfies Condition (K) and has countable $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{L}$., Comment: 25 pages. Version 2 is a minor update of version 1 and is the version that will be published in J. Aust. Math. Soc
