As in recent years strong property sales continue to drive values up as the 2025 certified values reflect a 5.81% increase above those of 2024.
While these values may be considered final allowing entities to begin work on their budgets, they really aren’t this year as a pending Nov. 4 homestead exemption election may change the present number from $100,000 to $140,00. No such election has failed in the past 10 years, so it is expected to fly through the voters to a big yes.
The Montague County Tax Appraisal District delivered their certified values to the 16 entities that collect taxes in the area.
