Commissioners adopt method to recalculate voted mills under new state law
Summary
Roosevelt County passed Resolution 2026-5 to recalculate voter-approved mill levies using FY2025 assessed tax revenue and the MCA 15-10-420 formula, citing HB231 and SB542 from the 2025 Legislature.
The Roosevelt County Board adopted Resolution 2026-5 on Sept. 3 to establish how voter-approved mill levies will be recalculated under legislation passed by the 2025 Montana Legislature (HB231 and SB542). The resolution lists the county27s voted mill levies (for example: Road Fund 8 mills; Public Safety Fund 7 mills; multiple hospital and ambulance district levies) and states the county will recalculate using FY2025 assessed tax revenue and the MCA 15-10-420 formula for FY2026 and subsequent years. Commissioner Toavs moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Marottek seconded; the motion passed.
The resolution explains two authorized methods under the new law and selects the method that starts with FY2025 assessed revenue and applies the MCA 15-10-420 formula going forward. The change reflects the statewide statutory adjustments enacted this legislative session; the transcript lists the specific voted levies to which the method will apply but does not include recalculated mill numbers for FY2026 in the meeting text.
