Montana launched a new economic initiative to support homeowners, offering stimulus checks of up to $675.
This program is designed to refund a portion of the property taxes homeowners paid in 2023, easing the financial burden for those who have invested in their homes.
If you are a property owner in Montana, it is important to know if your property qualifies and how you can apply for this rebate.
The $675 stimulus check is a one-time payment to homeowners who have met their tax obligations in 2023.
The goal is to provide direct financial relief to those who have paid property taxes, helping to improve their personal finances.
Requirements to qualify
1. Ownership: You must have owned a home in Montana for at least seven months in 2023, and it must have been your primary residence.
2. Tax Payment: It is necessary to have paid all property taxes for the year 2023, including special taxes or additional fees.
3. Social Security Number: You must have a valid Social Security number to process the application.
4. Geographic Code: You must provide the geographic code for your primary residence to confirm that it is located in Montana.
Only one payment will be made per residence, regardless of how many people live on the property or how many owners it has.
How to calculate your refund
The amount of your stimulus check depends on how much you paid in property taxes in 2023.
If you paid less than $675, you will receive a refund equal to what you paid. If you paid more than $675, you will receive the maximum amount.
How to request the check
1. Online application: The fastest way is through the official Montana program portal. Online applications are processed in approximately 30 days.
