90 percent see no property tax increase

Governor Greg Gianforte today announced that 80 percent of Montana residential property owners got a property tax cut in 2025, a result of reforms he signed into law earlier this year.

“For years, Montanans have said property taxes are too high, and they’re right,” Gov. Gianforte said. “Our focus has been securing meaningful, long-term property tax relief for Montanans in the place they call home, and we’ve delivered. The data make it clear that these reforms are a win for Montana homeowners.”

According to the Montana Department of Revenue, nearly 80 percent of homes will see a tax cut from the reforms, with about 10 percent seeing property taxes remain flat. The average savings for homeowners who saw a tax cut was more than $500, not including the up to $400 property tax rebate available to eligible homeowners.
