About the Manhattan Property Market
Manhattan is a city located in Gallatin County, Montana. Every property inside the Manhattan city limits is assessed by Montana Department of Revenue, which applies Montana property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Manhattan Property Market Context
Every Manhattan 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 Manhattan
AB-26 must be filed within 30 days of receiving the assessment notice — typically July or August depending on county.
Common Manhattan Property Types
Manhattan homeowners typically file protests across these property categories:
Single-family homes

Small multi-family
Duplexes and 2-4 unit buildings assessed as income property.
