HB 22 Montana House · 2025 Regular Session

Align home value amounts for school district property tax impact statements

This bill updates the home value tiers used in school district property tax impact statements from inconsistent amounts to standardized $100,000, $300,000, and $600,000 values. It directly affects homeowners in Montana school districts who receive annual notices about how tax increases would impact their property taxes. The key change requires school districts to calculate tax impacts using these three specific home values instead of previous, mismatched tiers. This aligns the reporting requirements with other statutory references and ensures consistent, clear communication about tax effects.
