Local offices
Property assessment, tax bills, recorded deeds, and court records are separate searches. Start with the office that matches the question; a contact route does not determine what applies to a particular parcel.
Montana property assessment · Gallatin County field office
Use the Department of Revenue for state property-assessment questions. Its Bozeman Field Office is listed under Gallatin County. For a property-tax bill or payment account, contact the Gallatin County Treasurer instead.
2273 Boot Hill Court, Suite 100, Bozeman, MT 59715 · 406-582-3400
Gallatin County · property-tax bills and payments
Contact the Treasurer about a property-tax bill or payment. Use the actual parcel account for questions about a specific property; this is different from a state assessment question or a deed search.
Gallatin County Courthouse, 311 W. Main St., Room 103, Bozeman, MT 59715 · 406-582-3033
Gallatin County · public land and ownership records
Use the Clerk and Recorder for county land and ownership records, including a recorded deed or document-search routing. A deed search is separate from a court case record or a property-tax account.
Gallatin County Courthouse, 311 W. Main St., Room 203, Bozeman, MT 59715 · 406-582-3050
Gallatin County · probate filings and court-record routing
Contact the Clerk for local routing to probate filings and District Court records. Gallatin County identifies probate as an 18th Judicial District Court matter. For a court judgment, identify the court and case and ask which docket or record route applies; the Clerk’s staff cannot give legal advice.
Justice Center, 515 S. 16th Ave., Room 1041, Bozeman, MT 59178 · 406-582-2165
Gallatin County · county code-compliance contact
Use this county contact for county code-compliance questions. Its complaint process is not City of Bozeman process and does not determine whether a particular parcel is covered; check the property’s actual municipality and notice.

Montana sale paperwork
Montana has no state, county, or city tax on the sale or transfer of real property. A Realty Transfer Certificate still has to be filed with the Gallatin County Clerk and Recorder when the deed is recorded. The Department of Revenue uses it to update ownership records and gather sale information for property appraisals.
The certificate asks whether water rights go with the property. If the property has its own water right, check with the closing professional about updating the state water-right ownership record; a property served by a public water supply skips that update. Ask the Clerk and Recorder or the closing professional about the recording steps for your transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Montana Constitution, Article VIII, Section 17 ↗Montana Department of Revenue, Realty Transfer Certificates ↗Montana Code Annotated §85-2-424, water-right ownership update ↗
