Montana Disabled Veteran Assistance Program (MDV) Property Tax Reduction

Montana Department of Revenue, through its local field offices

Property tax rate reduced by 100, 80, 70 or 50 percent depending on income and filing status

You can have the property tax rate on your home cut by 100, 80, 70 or 50 percent, depending on your income and filing status. For a home on agricultural or forest land the reduction covers the house and a one-acre home site. An unremarried surviving spouse can claim it too, and the income ranges are updated each year for inflation.
