Property Tax Rebates for Montana Homeowners
Montana homeowners may soon be eligible to receive tax rebates from the government thanks to a group of legislative bills being called the “six-pack.”
The state has a significant unspent surplus of over $2.5 billion, $764 million of which could be given back to eligible residents.
Montana’s House Bill 222 has allocated $284 million for property tax rebates, with eligible Montana homeowners potentially receiving rebates up to $1,000. Around 312 households who paid their taxes in 2022 and 2023 may qualify for a $500 credit. Additionally, House Bill 192 plans to distribute income tax rebates worth $480 million among almost 460,000 Montana residents. Currently, there are no specific qualifications or income requirements to receive these rebates.

There are currently no income requirements or any other qualification specifics for residents to receive the money. Montana homeowners could see significant property tax rebates thanks to House Bill 222, which sets aside $284 million for this purpose. Eligible households could receive a $500 credit for taxes paid in 2022 and 2023.
The aim of the legislative bills is to provide financial relief to Montana homeowners struggling with inflation and the high cost of living, a published article reported. Senate President Jason Ellsworth noted that this was the primary goal of the legislative session and that the proposed tax cuts represent the largest in Montana’s history.
In addition to the tax rebates for Montana homeowners, the six-pack bills propose measures such as reducing capital gains tax, paying down state debt and dedicating $100 million to a highway construction fund. These measures are intended to help the state’s economy and provide support to its residents during a challenging economic climate.
Overall, the proposed tax rebates for Montana homeowners and other measures in the six-pack bills represent a significant effort by the government of Montana to provide relief and support to its residents. Eligible residents should stay informed about the progress of these bills and how they may be able to benefit from them.
