Gianforte signs property tax relief package; rebate coming if lawsuit doesn't strike first

  • On April 30, 2025, Montana’s governor approved legislation aimed at reducing property taxes for homeowners and long-term rental properties.
  • The package passed after bipartisan negotiations, with House Bill 231 engineered by Rep. Llew Jones and backed by 35 Democrats, despite opposition.
  • The legislation reduces taxes on primary residences but balances the cost by increasing rates on vacation properties, short-term rental units, major corporations, and utility providers.
  • The package includes a $400 rebate for about 240,000 primary residences this year, alongside a $4 million allocation for Department of Revenue implementation.
  • Concerns about legal challenges exist due to possible conflicts with city charters and constitutional issues, while Democrats pledge to hold the governor accountable for proper rebate distribution.
