HELENA — The Montana Department of Revenue will soon be distributing its second round of property tax rebates to eligible Montana taxpayers as part of a property tax relief package that was signed into law in 2023.
The agency says that 10,000 rebate applications were filed within the first 10 minutes of the portal opening on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
