Because Missoula County collects taxes for all taxing jurisdictions within the county, property owners will likely see a portion of their taxes supporting several jurisdictions and districts. For example, Missoula County and the City of Missoula each set their own budgets and tax rates, and property taxes also support local school districts. Additionally, property taxes fund special districts that provide services like fire protection, bus service, irrigation, water and sewer. A portion of property taxes also supports schools statewide, including the Montana University System.  

If property owners have specific questions regarding their tax bills, it’s important that they contact the appropriate jurisdiction. Here are the six largest taxing jurisdictions likely to appear on a tax bill in Missoula County:  

• Missoula County Public Schools: 406-728-2400, ext. 1024
• City of Missoula: 406-552-6122
• Missoula County: 406-258-4847
• Missoula Urban Transportation District (Mountain Line): 406-543-8386
• Missoula Rural Fire District: 406-549-6172
• Montana University System: 406-449-9124
