Last Chance to Apply for Homestead Tax ReductionAuthor: Montana State Department of Revenue Communications

The online enrollment portal will close on March 1, 2026. Qualified Montana taxpayers only have a few more days to enroll their properties to receive reduced tax rates for their primary residences (homesteads) or long-term rental property.
The fastest way for taxpayers to enroll their property is online at homestead.mt.gov. Mailing a paper application form will add processing time. Paper applications for the 2026 tax year received after March 1 are ineligible to be processed.
Rental property that is part of a primary residence, for example an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or outbuilding, must be separately enrolled to qualify for reduced tax rates.
For more information or to enroll your property, please visit homestead.mt.gov.
