Montana property tax relief can’t wait

Montanans have been sounding the alarm on soaring property taxes — and Senate Democrats are answering that call.

With rising home values pushing people to the brink, this is not just a policy issue — it’s a crisis. Providing real, lasting property tax relief has been Senate Democrats’ No. 1 priority since day one. 

We introduced the first rate adjustment bills in both the Senate and the House, and we’ve been fighting ever since to bring clarity, stability, and fairness to Montana’s tax system. Now we are near the end of the session and still without resolution. If there’s still uncertainty, it’s not because Democrats haven’t shown up — it’s because others haven’t met the moment. We have a responsibility to our constituents to act — and we’re not backing down.
