Montana’s Governor Greg Gianforte has approved a $675 property tax refund for residents. This is part of the US’s plan to fight the rising costs of living caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the War in Ukraine. How to make a claim.
In response, Gov. Gianforte signed House Bills 222 and 816, which is good news for people in Montana who paid property taxes on their main home during the 2023 tax year.
This means that people can get the property taxes they paid back. For instance, if a Montanan paid $300, the state would give them $300 back and send them a payment to help. However, the refund is limited to $675.
This means that if you paid more than that, you will only get that amount back. Not anymore.
“The taxes on homes are too high,” Gov. Gianforte said in a statement. “That is why we made it a priority this legislative session to get immediate property tax relief for Montanans.”
“I encourage folks to get online tomorrow and claim their rebate.”
How long will it take to get the rebate?
To be eligible for the rebate, claimants must have owned a residence in Montana for at least seven months and stayed there for at least seven months. They must also have paid property taxes on that residence during that time.
The relief aid can not be claimed by people who rent, own property owned by a company, or have irrevocable trusts.
To make a claim, a person only needs to file with the Montana Department of Revenue by October 1, 2024. People who file online should get their money back in about 30 days, while people who file on paper should wait up to 90 days.
People who want to file a claim with the Montana Department of Revenue should not call them for four weeks after the process date.
