Granite County certifies 2025 roadway mileage for fuel-tax funding
Summary
The commission accepted the county’s submitted roadway mileage for the 2025 fuel-tax certification, a routine statewide step that determines distribution of fuel-tax funds for local roads.
Granite County commissioners reviewed and approved the county’s certification of roadway mileage for 2025, a routine step the county uses to qualify for state fuel‑tax distributions.
County staff presented the figures used in the certification: the meeting packet showed a county road mileage total of 717.213 miles and a secondary/urban system total of 32.791 miles, producing an adjusted total road mileage reported to the state of roughly 750 miles. Commissioners said they reviewed the map and the mileage report supplied by the Montana Department of Transportation and had no changes.
Why it matters: the certified mileage forms the basis for distributing state fuel‑tax revenue to counties for road maintenance and improvements. Staff noted the department that prepares the map visits county roads annually to confirm roadway classifications and recommends, and the commission signs the certification before it is returned to the state.
Outcome: The board moved to accept the fuel‑tax certification and approved the motion on a voice vote.
What’s next: staff will sign and return the certification form to the state as required for 2025 fuel‑tax calculations.
