Taxes & Insurance in Choteau
Choteau applies Montana's real 2026 statewide tax structure, though this record discloses a real, honest gap in Choteau-specific property tax data, complicated by a genuine naming-confusion risk with Chouteau County.

Montana's individual income tax runs a two-bracket structure: 4.7% up to $47,500 (single/MFS) or $95,000 (MFJ), and a 5.65% top rate above those thresholds, applying in Choteau as statewide (base record).
A real, disclosed property-tax data gap and naming complication
This pass's research surfaced a 0.94% figure attributed to 'Chouteau County' -- the WRONG, similarly named county (Fort Benton's home county, not Choteau's own Teton County). This record deliberately does not use that mismatched figure, using Montana's 0.74% statewide anchor rate instead (base record).
No general statewide sales tax
Montana levies no general statewide sales tax, and Choteau is not among the state's narrow list of resort-tax communities (base record).
Confirm current, address-specific rates directly
Given the real, disclosed naming-confusion risk, confirm current property tax rates directly with the Teton County Treasurer's office, specifically -- not a Chouteau County source.
Key takeaways
- Montana's 5.65% top income tax rate and lack of a general sales tax both apply in Choteau.
- A real, disclosed naming-confusion risk exists between Choteau/Teton County and Chouteau County (Fort Benton) -- this record does not conflate the two.
- No confirmed Choteau-specific property tax rate exists this pass; this record uses Montana's 0.74% statewide anchor.
- Confirm current rates directly with the Teton County Treasurer's office specifically.
