Montana: Property tax system prompts concerns, possible ballot measure
The state’s property tax systems is broken, area residents told Montana legislators at a town hall meeting last week at Flathead Valley Community College. Nine state legislators, all Republican, were present at the session, which gave people a chance to air their concerns and suggest solutions. This was the second meeting organized by Rep. Scott Reichner of Bigfork held in response to concerns he received about the recent reappraisal cycle that more than doubled some residents’ property taxes, particularly for those with lakefront property.
