How to Apply For Your Montana Property Tax Rebate

The Montana Property Tax Rebate will be available to eligible Montana taxpayers again this year. If you paid property taxes in Montana for the 2023 tax year you may qualify for a rebate of up to $675.

The qualifications for the rebate are:

• You are a Montana taxpayer that was billed and paid property taxes on your principal residence in 2023
• Have owned and lived at a Montana residence for at least 7 months
• Had property taxes, including special assessments and other fees billed on this residence for the 2023 tax year
• Paid property taxes on this residence

The rebate is only eligible to individuals, not homes held in an LLC, corporation, estate, or trust. The rebate is for $675 or an amount not to exceed the property taxes paid on the residence. You must file a claim with the Montana Department of Revenue to receive the rebate!

Make sure you have your property's Geocode and 2023 tax amount paid, which you can find on your tax bill or by clicking here. If you received a letter regarding the rebate, you will also need the Letter ID. Social security numbers for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents are required. If filing online, have your bank account information ready.

There are two ways to claim your rebate.

1) Starting August 15th, file online through TAP, which you can get to by clicking here. The process takes less than ten minutes if you have all the information ready. It is also the fastest way to get your rebate. Claims for rebates will begin August 15, 2024 and must be filed by October 1, 2024 for the 2023 tax year. Please note, that the updated form will not be available until August 15th and the 2022 form will not be accepted. 

2) Fill out the paper form and mail it in. Click here for the form. There is an address on the last page for where to mail it. This way will take up to 90 days.
