Property Taxes in Bozeman
Bozeman's property tax picture runs genuinely low, with Bozeman's own cited effective rate (~0.67%) running below both Montana's statewide median and the national comparison figure -- though this record discloses a real, disclosed gap on the current, Bozeman-specific status of Montana's post-2023-reappraisal relief measures.

Ownwell's cited figures show Bozeman's own median effective property tax rate at approximately 0.67%, Gallatin County's at approximately 0.65%, and Montana's statewide median at approximately 0.78% -- all below the ~1.02% national comparison figure this project uses consistently.
Montana's 2023 Reappraisal Controversy and Relief Measures: A Real, Disclosed Research Gap
Consistent with this project's Montana manifest research context, Montana underwent a real, statewide 2023 residential property-tax reappraisal that sharply raised many homeowners' bills, prompting legislative relief measures (a tiered/homestead-rate approach and rebate programs). This record's own web-search budget this pass did not independently verify Bozeman/Gallatin-County-specific current status of those relief measures -- confirm current homestead/tiered-rate eligibility directly with the Montana Department of Revenue or the Gallatin County Treasurer for a specific property.
Confirm a Specific Property's Actual Bill Directly
Effective rates are citywide medians, not guarantees for any specific property -- confirm a target property's current assessed value, applicable taxing districts, and actual current bill directly with the Gallatin County Treasurer before buying.
