A Montana sale rule

No real-estate transfer tax, but a certificate is filed with the deed

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 county Clerk & Recorder when the deed is recorded. The Montana Department of Revenue uses it to update ownership records and collect sale information for property appraisals. The certificate asks whether water rights transfer with the property. If the property has its own water right, the state's water-right ownership records also need an update; a home served by a public water supply skips that step. When you discuss recording the deed, ask how the certificate and any separate water-right update apply to the property.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay a seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Great Falls and Cascade County resource questions

Does Montana charge a transfer tax when I sell my house?

No. Montana does not allow a state or local tax on the sale or transfer of real property. A realty transfer certificate is still filed with the deed when it is recorded. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; that does not pay a seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Which office handles a deed, property value, unpaid taxes, or a court judgment?

Cascade County identifies its Clerk & Recorder’s Office as the office for real-estate documents, including deed-recording questions. Property valuation, delinquent-tax balances, and court judgments are separate records. Use the Cascade County staff directory to identify the office for the specific record you need.

What should I do about water rights when a property transfers?

The realty transfer certificate asks whether water rights go with the property. If the property has its own water right, Montana’s water-right ownership records need an update too. A property served by a public water supply skips that separate water-right update. Ask the Clerk & Recorder about filing the certificate with the deed and check the Department of Revenue and Montana water-right links above.
