(Helena – KRTV) Montana Department of Revenue says that the last day for property tax payer to apply for assistance programs is April 15th, the same day as the tax filing deadline.
With property taxes remaining a concern for many Montanans, the department is working to get the word out about programs that can help some residents pay their property tax bills.
The program is called the Property Tax Assistance Program, and in order for applicants to qualify they must own a home, have lived in it for seven months, and have an income within a specific range.
Those who are eligible can have their property taxes reduced by 30%, 50% or 80% on part of their home’s value, based on their income.
The income ranges are updated every year to account for inflation. For the 2024 tax year, the maximum income to qualify is $27,621 for a single person or $37,019 for a married couple or head of household.
DOR also has the Montana Disabled Veteran Assistance Program, which is similar but specifically serves veterans rated 100% disabled and their surviving spouses.
