Property Tax Department - Property Tax bills are mailed in October of each year to the owner of record, as their name and mailing address appear on the tax roll. The tax roll is prepared and maintained by the State of Montana, Department of Revenus, Assessors Office.

If you have not received a tax statement by November 1st, please contact the Treasurer?s Office at 406-466-2694 and a duplicate statement will be mailed. If you move and have an address change, the Teton County Assessor (406-466-2908) should be notified of the change in mailing address for each property you own.

For the Assessor to change a name on the tax roll, proper documents must be completed and recorded at the Teton County Clerk and Recorders Records Department. A name change could be due to a transfer of ownership of the property, or death or marriage.

Failure to receive a property tax statement does not exempt the taxpayer from timely payment of the taxes due.
