Closing Date Prorations in Montana

In Montana, closing date prorations for property taxes are governed by statute rather than a fixed rate. The applicable law, Mont. Code Ann. § 15-16-102, establishes the method for apportioning taxes between buyer and seller based on the closing date. The official source from the Montana Department of Revenue (mtrevenue.gov/property) provides the exact detail and any applicable factors. Because the verified figure is 0%, no specific percentage or dollar amount is prescribed by law for these prorations. Instead, the statute sets out how the calculation is to be performed. The worked example below illustrates the standard proration process. To estimate your own specific result, use the calculator on the official source or consult the statute directly.
