Property Tax Relief Programs for Homeowners – Apply by April 15

• Residential homeowners on a fixed or limited income may qualify for the Property Tax Assistance Program (PTAP). Qualifying applicants receive a reduced property tax rate reduction of 30, 50, or 80% on the first $350,000 of their home’s market value. Eligibility for this program is based on home ownership, occupancy requirements, income levels, and marital status.
• Montana veterans who are 100% disabled or the unmarried surviving spouses of deceased veterans who were 100% disabled may qualify for the Montana Disabled Veterans (MDV) Property Tax Assistance Program. Qualifying applicants receive a reduced property tax rate reduction of 50, 70, 80, or 100% on their home’s market value. Eligibility for this program is based on home ownership, occupancy requirements, military disability requirements, income levels, and marital status.
Once eligible taxpayers apply for assistance, they are included in the program’s annual income verification as long as they own their home and it is their primary residence.
