Current News: November 3, 2009: On Friday, October 30th, the Yellowstone County Treasurers’ Office mailed the 2009 real estate Property Tax Statements. Tax payments can be made in two installments - the first one-half by November 30 th, 2009 and the second one-half by May 31st, 2010. 2009 property taxes have increased nominally in the City of Billings; however, some taxing jurisdictions have significantly increased: namely, School District #7 Laurel and School District #24 Worden/Huntley Project. This was the result of bond issues passed by voters for school construction & improvements.
Our tax billing process is comprised of 69,271 tax statements and totals over $180M in property taxes and special assessments.
We will gladly answer any questions at 406-256-2803 or via email at: mlenington@co.yellowstone.mt.gov. 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 delinquesnt 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.
