If you bought or moved into your house in the last couple of years, check this: Montana's lower homestead property tax rate isn't automatic for everyone.

Ten minutes at homestead.mt.gov will tell you where you stand. We wrote up who needs to apply and who doesn't, in plain language: https://www.seigfreidagency.com/posts/montana-homestead-tax-rate-how-to-check
