Governor Delivers Property Tax Relief

Joining Rep. Llew Jones, R-Conrad, Gov. Greg Gianforte last week celebrated a new law that delivers Montana homeowners more than $120 million in permanent property tax relief over the next several years.

“Property taxes are too high and need to be reined in,” Gianforte said. “Working with Rep. Jones, we got a fiscally responsible, creative solution across the finish line to reduce the burden of property taxes over the long term. Taken together with our property tax rebates, we secured over $470 million in property tax relief for Montanans this session.” House Bill 587 establishes the state special revenue school equalization and property tax reduction account, directing a portion of revenues from school equalization local tax levies to the account.
