About the Dillon Property Market
Dillon is a city located in Beaverhead County, Montana. Every property inside the Dillon city limits is assessed by the Beaverhead County assessor, which applies Montana property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Dillon property values are set at the county level, the same assessment rules apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Dillon home is over-assessed have the right to file a appeal directly with Beaverhead County.
Montana allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a appeal, so Dillon homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Dillon Property Market Context
Every Dillon homeowner operates under Montana property tax law, and understanding the state context is the first step toward a successful challenge.
Montana market character
Montana reassesses on a two-year cycle, and the state saw historic 40%+ appreciation in the 2023 cycle that produced widespread sticker-shock notices. Bozeman, Missoula, and resort areas have been the epicenter of over-assessments.
How Montana handles appeals
Montana homeowners file an informal review (AB-26) with the Department of Revenue, then appeal to the County Tax Appeal Board, then the Montana Tax Appeal Board. The state is responsive to comparable sales evidence.
When to file in Dillon
AB-26 must be filed within 30 days of receiving the assessment notice — typically July or August depending on county.
