- ➤ Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a new property tax law that will lower taxes by about 18% for owner-occupied homes while raising taxes by over 60% for second homes and short-term rentals, according to the Montana Department of Revenue. Homeowners in Kalispell and across the state will see these changes on their 2025 tax bills before full implementation comes in 2026 — a shift that may lead to fluctuating bills from one year to the next.
