District says Department of Revenue appraisal work underway; county timeline points to Sept. 27
Summary
An executive-cabinet speaker told the board that after the district adopted its budget, the Montana Department of Revenue brought in appraisers to revalue newly taxable property; a Gallatin County timeline indicated Sept. 27 for additional information.
During executive-cabinet reports at the Sept. 9 meeting, an executive-cabinet member updated trustees on ongoing appraisal work by the Montana Department of Revenue that could affect taxable values in Gallatin County.
The speaker said Director Beatty met with local taxing jurisdictions, "took full responsibility for what did not occur here," and that the department had engaged external appraisers. The speaker reported a timeline from the Gallatin County superintendent indicating Sept. 27 as the next milestone and said the board could expect more information by the October meeting.
Trustees were told that the Department of Revenue is working to bring records up to date so values can be recertified; no formal action or budget adjustments related to the appraisal work were taken at the Sept. 9 meeting.
