HELENA — Starting Tuesday, Montana homeowners can apply to get back up to $675 on their property taxes.

The Montana Department of Revenue will open claims Aug. 15 for the property tax rebate approved by the state Legislature and signed off on by Gov. Greg Gianforte earlier this year. The deadline to apply is October 1.

“Property taxes are too high, which is why we prioritized and secured immediate property tax relief for Montanans this legislative session,” Gianforte said in a statement. “I encourage folks to get online tomorrow and claim their rebate.”

Taxpayers must have owned and lived in their home for at least seven months last year to qualify. They will receive a rebate for their 2022 property taxes on that home, up to a maximum of $675.

Leaders say they’ll process returns as they are received, and they plan to have all rebates distributed by the end of December. You can receive the rebate by direct deposit or a paper check.

Homeowners can apply online at getmyrebate.mt.gov, or by submitting a paper form.

The agency says filing online is the fastest way to get your rebate.

Homeowners will be eligible to claim a second rebate of up to $675 in 2024 for this year’s property taxes.
