Property Appraisal Notices Coming Out
The Montana Department of Revenue is mailing property classification and appraisal notices to all owners of residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural land properties.
These notices are not tax bills. They include the department’s determination of market or productivity value and the taxable value for your property that will be used by your county treasurer to determine property taxes owed for tax year 2025 and 2026. Importantly, these notices will reflect recent rate changes enacted by the 2025 Legislature that were signed into law by Gov. Gianforte.
“It’s important that Montana property owners review this information,” said Brendan Beatty, director of the Montana Department of Revenue. “If property owners wait until property tax bills are sent in November, it will be too late for the department to correct property characteristics and make adjustments that may impact the value of the property for Tax Year 2025. We ask Montanans to review the notice as soon as possible and contact us if you have questions.”
If property owners disagree with the department’s determination of value for their property, they may submit a Request for Informal Classification and Appraisal Review (called Form AB-26) within 30 days of the date on their notice. Owners can electronically submit the form, download it, and find more information on the informal review process at revenue.mt.gov.
The public can find contact information for local Department of Revenue field offices by visiting revenue.mt.gov/ contact, by calling 406- 4446900, or Montana Relay at 711 for hearing impaired.
