Good news for homeowners in Montana! If you owned and lived in your home last year, you might be eligible for a $675 property tax rebate. This financial relief is part of Montana’s effort to ease the burden of rising property taxes, and checks are rolling out in February 2025.
Who Qualifies for the $675 Homeowner Rebate?
To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:
- Primary Residence: You must have lived in your Montana home for at least seven months in 2023.
- Property Ownership: The home must be under your name—not a business, trust, or LLC.
- Taxes Paid: Your 2023 property taxes must have been paid in full.
- Social Security Number: A valid SSN is required to apply.
When and How Will Payments Arrive?
If you applied online between August 15, 2024, and October 1, 2024, you should receive your rebate within 30 days of approval. Those who submitted paper applications may experience a longer wait, up to 90 days. All payments are issued as checks—no direct deposit is available.
By now, most eligible homeowners should have already received their rebates. If you’re still waiting, check your mail or contact the Montana Department of Revenue for updates.
What If You Missed the Application Deadline?
Unfortunately, if you didn’t apply during the designated period, you won’t be able to claim the rebate this time. However, Montana may introduce similar tax relief programs in the future, so it’s a good idea to stay informed through official state websites and announcements.
Final Thoughts
This $675 rebate is a welcome relief for many Montana homeowners struggling with property tax costs. If you applied and are eligible, keep an eye on your mailbox—the money should be on its way!
