How This Calculator Works
Montana's average effective property tax rate is 0.74% of a home's value each year, the 15th highest of 51, in the top third. On the state's typical home, worth about $450,000, that comes to roughly $3,330 a year, or $278 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Montana's bill on a typical home is 21st of 51, near the middle. On a $350,000 home it would be about $2,590.
Of Montana's neighbors, Idaho (0.53%) and Wyoming (0.56%) have a lower average rate; the table below lists them all.
These are Montana averages; your county, city and school district set the actual bill.
