MT HB37

Local government preliminary budgets must now include property taxes levied on $100,000 of residential property value from the prior budget year and estimated taxes for the current budget year

Removes previous requirement to show tax increase amounts on homes valued at $100,000, $300,000, and $600,000 when a government entity intends to raise property taxes

Standardizes tax transparency by requiring all local governments to display prior and current year tax comparisons, not just those planning increases

Amends Section 7-6-4020, MCA governing preliminary annual operating budget requirements for counties and local governments
