🏡 2026 property tax bills have started posting!
Under contract to buy or sell? Your closing prorations will now be based on the actual 2026 tax amount, not an estimate based on last year's taxes. Because of Montana’s tax changes, that number could look different than you expected.
Homestead enrollment matters too. Whether a home is enrolled as a primary residence affects its tax rate. The current owner’s status shapes the 2026 bill. Buyers will need to enroll their new home to get the homestead rate.
Check with your agent and title company before closing day so there are no surprises. Questions? We’re here. 💙
