Treasurer - Property Tax Division
Last year the Department of Revenue concluded that for tax year 2023, 77.9 mills would be sufficient to meet the budgetary requirements of the State School Equalization Funds rather than 95 mills which have been billed in previous years, and the bill you received from Gallatin County reflected that reduction. However, based on a recent ruling from the Montana Supreme Court which authorized the Department to levy the maximum mill amount regardless of the budget, the County has been directed to collect the full 95 mills, and your Second Half tax bill will be amended accordingly. We expect to mail the adjusted bills in mid-March with a due date of May 31. Please disregard the second half payment due on your original bill and pay the new amount instead. Do not pay both. If you paid the full year’s taxes in December, you will still need to pay the amount indicated on the new bill. These additional tax collections mandated by the Montana Department of Revenue will be sent to the State of Montana.
To calculate what your increase will be, multiply your parcel’s total taxable value (located near the upper right-hand corner of the statement) by 0.0171. For example:
Taxable Value X 17.1 MILLS = Expected Increase
$7,389.00 X 0.0171 = $126.35
Note- the above amount does not include outstanding taxes or penalties that will also be included on the adjusted statement.
