About
The Property Assessment Division (PAD) administers Montana’s property tax laws, including the valuation of all taxable property for property tax purposes.
We ensure property classes for agricultural land, residential and commercial property, forest land, and business equipment are valued uniformly and equally within the state. Our work is critical to local governments. We provide each tax jurisdiction with the total taxable value of property in the jurisdiction. We work from a central office in Helena and field offices located throughout the state.
