About the Belgrade Property Market
Belgrade is a city located in Gallatin County, Montana. Every property inside the Belgrade city limits is assessed by Montana Department of Revenue, which applies Montana property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Belgrade property values are set at the county level, the $520,000 county median home value and 0.8% effective tax rate apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Belgrade home is over-assessed have the right to file a appeal directly with Montana Department of Revenue before the First Monday in June or 30 days deadline.
Montana allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a appeal, so Belgrade homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Belgrade Property Market Context
The property tax picture in Belgrade is shaped as much by Montana statewide policy as by anything unique to a city.
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 Belgrade
AB-26 must be filed within 30 days of receiving the assessment notice — typically July or August depending on county.
Common Belgrade Property Types
Belgrade homeowners typically file protests across these property categories:
Single-family homes
The most common residential type and the dominant protest category.
Condominiums
Common in denser parts of the city and near employment centers.
Townhouses
Attached-home neighborhoods in newer subdivisions.
Small multi-family
Duplexes and 2-4 unit buildings assessed as income property.
Commercial

ProtestMax supports all of the above property types in Belgrade. Each appealpacket is tailored to the property's classification and uses comparable sales from Belgrade and surrounding Gallatin County neighborhoods.
