BID ASSESSMENT FORMULA
Montana Code Annotated 7-12-1133 (2) directs the governing body to annually assess the entire cost of
the district against the entire district using a method that best ensures that the assessment on each lot or
parcel is equitable in proportion to the benefits to be received.
The BID Board has reviewed the current assessment formula and is recommending that the formula for
fiscal year 2023 remain the same as the 2022 fiscal year. All property owners within the district will be
assessed a flat fee of $100.00, $0.015 per square foot assessment and a taxable value assessment from
.0225%. Owner occupied residential properties will not assessed.
The formula would leave the overall budget at approximately the same level as the 2022 fiscal year. After
discussion of the new work plan the BID Board of Directors believes that the proposed assessment
formula will ensure proportional benefits for the entire district.
WORK PLAN 2022
The BID Board of Directors is pleased to let the Mayor, Council and property owners know that the
following list from the 2022 work plan will be completed prior to the end of the current fiscal year.
• Worked with the Kalispell Downtown Association to design and assist with funding of three bike
racks downtown the first of which was installed fall of 2021. The next two bike racks are expected
to be fabricated by Flathead Valley Community College and installed this year.
• Provided funding for 12 new trees to replace dead and dying trees downtown.
• Awarded $25,000 in Facade Improvement grants.
• Beautification — Provided plants for 54 downtown corner planters and 117 hanging flower baskets.
• Continued representation on the CORE trail committee by the BID Executive Coordinator.
