Deadline extended for Montana property tax relief programs

Press release

The state government announced Monday that the deadline to apply for two property tax relief programs would be extended to June 1 to give Montanans with a substantial hardship extended time to apply for relief.

The deadline for Property Tax Assistance Program (PTAP) and the Montana Disabled Veterans (MDV) Property Tax Assistance Program initially set for April 15 was extended Monday to June 1 for people facing a substantial hardship in meeting the original deadline.

  PTAP is open to individuals who meet certain criteria based on home ownership, occupancy requirements, and income qualifications. Properties with a market value up to $350,000 are eligible.

More information about the program, and a link to a page to download for the program, along with links to more information, are available at https://montana.servicenowservices.com/citizen?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0013223 .

The MDV Property Tax Assistance Program reduces the property tax burden for Montana veterans who are 100% disabled or the surviving unmarried spouse of a deceased veteran who was 100% disabled. Eligibility for reduced property taxes is based on home ownership, occupancy, military disability requirements, and income qualifications. Similar to PTAP for Tax Year 2024, the MDV program will have higher qualifying income levels.
