Montana property taxes generally means the amount of tax year 2006 ad valorem property
taxes that you have paid on your principal residence in Montana. (See the following details for
special situations in which you may also claim property taxes paid for tax years 2004 and 2005).
Owned includes purchasing under a contract for deed, owning 20% or more of the shares or
other membership interests of an entity that owns a residence, and being the grantor or grantors
under a trust indenture. (For example, you have 20% interest in a corporation that owns a ranch.
In 2006 you occupied a dwelling on the ranch as your principal residence for at least 7 months
during 2006. You qualify for the refund; however, no more than one refund can be claimed for
any single residence.)
Principal residence means a residential dwelling that is a single-family dwelling unit, unit
of a multiple-unit dwelling, trailer, manufactured home, or mobile home and as much of the
surrounding land, not exceeding one acre, as is reasonably necessary for its use as a dwelling,
and that is occupied by the owner for at least 7 months during the tax year.

About the Refund…
You may claim a refund amount of up to $400, depending on the amount of property taxes
you have actually paid in 2006 (or 2004 and 2005 in special cases). The vast majority of
homeowners will be able to claim the full $400. ▲Only one claim can be made with respect to
any single property. ▲The deadline to file your refund claim is December 31, 2007, unless you
show good cause for not being able to file on time and you are granted a special extension.
▲Any refund amount you receive must be reported as taxable income for federal and/or state
individual income tax purposes if you claimed an itemized deduction for your 2006 property
taxes on your tax year 2006 federal and/or state income tax form. ▲To speed your refund,
we encourage you to file your claim electronically at mt.gov. ▲Your social security number
is required to complete this claim. ▲Any person who files a false or fraudulent refund claim is
subject to criminal prosecution, including recovery of the refund plus penalty and interest. ▲If
you owe a debt to the State of Montana, your refund may be reduced by the amount of the debt
owed.
