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 2024 remain the same as the 2023 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 be
assessed.
The formula would leave the overall budget at approximately the same level as the 2023 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 2023
