SB5

Montana SB5 revises compensation for county tax appeal board members.

Montana SB5 revises the compensation for county tax appeal board members, setting new rates based on hours worked. Members now receive $60 for 4 hours or less and $120 for more than 4 hours. The bill also specifies that only three members need to hear each appeal in counties with more than three appointed members. Compensation and travel expenses are to be paid from the appropriation to the Montana tax appeal board. The changes are effective July 1, 2025.
