**** Redesigned Property Tax Statements ****
On October 27, 2021, Yellowstone County mailed out the 2021 Real Estate Tax Statements. The tax statements have been redesigned this year. They will arrive in a windowed envelope with "IMPORTANT TAX BILL ENCLOSED" displayed in the window. Taxpayers will notice additional information printed on the statement. Each mill levy is now listed individually on the statement, with a color-coded key identifying whether the levy is a city, county, school, state, or other tax. On the back of the statement, taxpayers will see a visual of the percentages, per category, of the distributed dollars shown in a colored pie chart as well as in written form.

The office of the Treasurer receives and disburses
all monies, as dictated by state law, and records these transactions.
The Treasurer, an elected official, reports to the Montana State
Department of Revenue on administrative matters while the County
Commissioners have budgetary authority.
The office is divided into two groups. One deals
with motor vehicle matters, including registrations, title transfers
and applications, and the issuance of temporary stickers and permits.
The other serves as the general office for activities including
receipts from taxes, fees and intergovernmnetal transfers. It
also processes disbursements, invests funds, maintains bank accounts,
seizes tax delinquent property, handles tax protests, and issues
moving permits for mobile homes.
There is a 2% penalty and 5/6 of 1% of interest accumulated monthly if taxes are paid delinquent. This applies to real property, personals, mobile, and farm and ranch.
