SB 90 Montana Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Redistribute certain state tax revenue to primary residence property tax relief

SB 90 would provide property tax relief to Montana homeowners with primary residences by using lodging and rental car tax revenue. Homeowners would need to apply for certification by March 1, proving they live in the home at least 7 months yearly and that the property value is under $1 million. Counties would apply the credit directly to property tax bills using annual funding based on certified residences, with penalties for false applications. The bill specifies that assistance won’t affect local mill rates and requires Department of Revenue certification of eligible primary residences.

MINOR
The bill number was updated from SB 90.2 to SB 90.3 to reflect its progression in the legislative process. A minor formatting correction was made to the summary section by adding a space before the word 'AND' for consistency. Additionally, a line containing procedural instructions for the department to adopt rules and forms was removed, likely because those details are now handled in a separate section or are no longer necessary in this specific version.
TECHNICAL

Updated the bill identifier from SB0090.2 to SB0090.3.

Corrected spacing in the legislative summary to add a space before the word 'AND'.

Deleted a line instructing the department to adopt rules and prepare forms, suggesting these administrative details were moved or are not included in this version.
