Revising property taxation for certain local government subdivisions
This bill modifies Montana's property tax system to allow for financial reimbursement between school districts when students from one district attend school in a neighboring district due to geographic barriers. It creates a process where a school district can petition the county superintendent for a reconciliation payment if an isolated pupil from a wealthier district attends their school, requiring a $100 processing fee and annual application. The bill also establishes that when school territory is transferred between districts, the taxable value of that land will be split between both districts for three years to maintain tax equity. Additionally, it provides a legal appeal process for districts that disagree with the county superintendent's determination regarding payment eligibility.
