State Board Sets 8.25 Mills Tax for 1963 in Montana
The Montana State Board of Equalization set statewide levies totaling 8.25 mills on all property for 1963, up from 1962 by a quarter mill. The two mill general fund tax and six mill university tax are adjusted under a 1963 statute, with university millage now under six mills for the six-unit system. Additional levies cover bond funds and state hospital bonds, while last year’s remaining funds reduce other charges. Taxable property valuation is placed at about $736.7 million, up roughly 6.25 percent from 1962, projecting about $1.5 million from the two mill tax. Livestock taxes remain unchanged, with sheep at 10.5 mills and other livestock at eight mills, allocated among various funds.
