Next Steps

What do libraries need to know about changes to property tax laws?

  1. Retrieve the Department of Revenue certified values for the library from FY 2025   
  2. Get the FY26 Excel form and plug in the values  
  3. Double-check your math with your clerk
  4. The library board needs to vote on their choice and submit it to the county.

The decision needs to be made before the first Thursday following the first Tuesday in September (MCA 7-6-4024). Therefore, library boards should vote on their choice at their August meeting.
