Learn moreAn above-average property tax rate
Glendive/Dawson County's effective property tax rate ran approximately 1.38% per Ownwell, above both the 1.02% national median and Montana's own ~0.74% statewide average -- tied to the county's limited oil-and-gas revenue relative to infrastructure demand.
Montana's real, graduated income tax
Montana taxes income across 2 brackets: 4.7% up to $47,500 (single/MFS) or $95,000 (MFJ), and a 5.65% top rate above those thresholds for 2026.
No general statewide sales tax
Montana levies no general statewide sales tax, and Glendive is not among the small number of Montana resort communities that levy a narrow local resort tax.
