Residents in Montana have until Oct. 1 to apply for property tax rebates of up to $675 for eligible taxpayers in the state.

Applications for the tax rebate via an online portal opened last month and will remain open through the end of September. Residents of the Treasure State who are eligible can claim their rebates via the online portal or through a paper form.

“Property taxes are too high, which is why we prioritized and secured immediate property tax relief for Montanans this legislative session. Now, it’s time to build on reforms to reduce the burden of property taxes over the long term,” Gov. Greg Gianforte (R-MT) said in a statement on the rebate in July.

The amount each taxpayer will receive from the rebate is dependent on how much was paid in property taxes for the person's "principal Montana residence," with a maximum of $675 for this rebate.

Montana taxpayers applying for the rebate must have owned and lived in a residence in the state for at least seven months to qualify for the rebate. Applicants must also have been billed and paying for the property taxes on the residence during the 2022 tax year. Only one rebate per household is permitted under this program, according to the state.

Residents should receive their rebate within 30 days of filing an application online or up to 90 days after filing a paper application. Montana officials say an identical rebate will be available to state residents in 2024 based on tax year 2023.
