Gallatin County Sees Big Jump in Assessed Value
Gallatin County records show nearly half a million dollars added to assessed values after Montana Attorney General ruling that mineral rights reserved by the Northern Pacific Railway in many deeds have monetary value. Assessors examined transfers within the county and found about four-fifths of deeds reserved mineral rights, now valued at two dollars per acre as precedent. The railroad likely will contest the higher tax in court, potentially granting land titles to holders if taxes prove onerous.
