Starting August 24, all Montana property tax rebates will be sent by paper check in the mail. To reduce the risk of fraud perpetuated by scam artists, the Montana Department of Revenue removed the option for taxpayers to receive the property tax rebate by direct deposit. The department received applications where applicants entered banking information for direct deposit that did not match banking information in the department’s records. While some of these claims are qualified taxpayers who have changed banks, some are criminals filing f...

The Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) is facilitating pesticide disposal events in its Western District (Kalispell, Hamilton, Helena, Three Forks) during the week of September 18, 2023. Annual pesticide waste collection events have collected close to 780,000 pounds of pesticide waste from over 1,800 participants since the program’s inception in 1994. “Montana has very limited options to get rid of pesticide products,” said Carli Davis of the MDA’s Pesticide Disposal and Container Recycling Programs. “This program is one way of assuring...

Montana is violating the rights of young people with policies that prohibit the state from considering climate change effects when it reviews coal mining, natural gas extraction and other fossil fuel projects, a state judge said Monday. The decision by Judge Kathy Seeley in Helena marked a major victory in the first youth-led climate case to reach trial in the U.S. and could set an important precedent for similar cases nationwide. The 16 plaintiffs sued Montana in 2020, when they were ages 2 to 18, claiming the state’s permitting of projects l...

When I opened my Department of Revenue (DOR) appraisal notice I, like many of you, was shocked by the increase in my property tax estimate. Even though I read on the first page, “THIS IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY TAX BILL”, I was still concerned. I understand the angst and confusion regarding this process because property owners question the accuracy of the fair market value and secondly the possible increase in their property taxes. Please remember that property taxes are local. This means that local s...
By now, most Montana property owners have opened their 2023 Property Classification and Appraisal Notices, and many have been surprised by the Montana Department of Revenue’s estimate of their property’s market value. It’s no secret that property in Montana has been selling at higher and higher prices, but the size of the increased values is astonishing to everyone — including me. These value increases and estimated 2023 General Taxes described on the notice — based upon the prior year’s mills — have created a great deal of confusion, fear, and...

The July 11 meeting of the Jefferson County Commissioners was held in Whitehall at the Borden’s conference room. During this meeting, two items of Whitehall importance were discussed: the consideration of lowering the speed limit on Mormon Lane and allegations of animal abuse on Ringing Rocks Rd. Commissioner Kory Kirsch said that a traffic study to see if lowering the speed limit is feasible costs about $40,000 and requested that area residents voice their opinion about lowering the limit from 35 mph to 25 mph before the study is approved. ...

Montana income taxpayers may notice extra money in their bank accounts or a rebate check in the mail next month. The Montana Department of Revenue will begin issuing rebates of 2021 individual income taxes to over 530,000 qualifying Montana taxpayers beginning July 3. The department anticipates distributing most rebates by August 31. Best of all, taxpayers do not need to apply for the rebate. “Montanans overpaid their taxes, and we’re giving it back,” Governor Greg Gianforte said. “I look forward to getting this money back into Montana...

Due to the Juneteenth holiday on Monday, June 19, the Whitehall Town Council met for their monthly meeting a bit off schedule, on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. The meeting was missing its usual reports from the Mayor and outside entities, making for a short meeting, running less than 45 minutes. The largest item on the agenda for the evening was Town Attorney Ed Guza introducing Sam Martin to serve as Town prosecutor for the next six months, ending December 21, 2023. Guza said that Martin, who has worked with Guza’s office for the last four years, w...

Contact the City of Boulder (406-225-3381) or the Town of Whitehall (406-287-3972) for information about their specific ordinances.
