RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE NOTICE: Property tax bills for 2024 and prior years may not reflect the future tax burdens on non-owner-occupied residential properties such as second homes, vacation homes, and short-term rentals. Recent legislation passed by the Montana Legislature (House Bill 231 and Senate Bill 542) raised the tax burdens on such properties and will take full effect in tax year 2026 and reflected in tax bills sent out in the fall of 2026. Further, the Montana Department of Revenue’s statewide property appraisal for the 2025-2026 biennium is anticipated to raise the value of all residential properties beginning in tax year 2025. Buyers are encouraged to consult with a tax advisor or real estate attorney for further information concerning the impact these changes may have on the tax bills for any Montana residential property they are considering.
