Revenue Interim Committee Publishes Property Tax Brochure

The Revenue Interim Committee created a residential property tax brochure as part of its House Joint Resolution 36 study of the residential property tax.

The brochure: * explains how property taxes are calculated and the roles of the state and local governments; * provides information on the distribution of property tax revenue; and * summarizes property tax assistance programs.

The brochure is available for viewing online or may be printed and publicly distributed. The Legislative Services Division will have a limited number of printed copies available later this month.

Pursuant to section 2-2121(3), MCA, the Legislative Services Division is prohibited from providing public time or supplies (i.e., the printed brochure) for campaign purposes. Legislators or candidates wishing to use the brochure for campaign activities or for communicating with constituents must make their own arrangements for copying the brochure.

Questions about the brochure or the Revenue Interim Committee’s work may be directed to committee staff, Megan Moore, at megan. moore@legmt.gov or 406449-4496.
