About the Milltown Property Market
Milltown is a city located in Missoula County, Montana. Every property inside the Milltown city limits is assessed by Montana Department of Revenue, which applies Montana property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Milltown property values are set at the county level, the $400,000 county median home value and 0.85% effective tax rate apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Milltown 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 Milltown homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Milltown Property Market Context
Milltown sits within Montana's broader property tax landscape as a city, and local assessments reflect both state rules and county-level mass appraisal practices.
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 Milltown
AB-26 must be filed within 30 days of receiving the assessment notice — typically July or August depending on county.
