State Fee for Per Capita Livestock

The Department of Revenue is responsible for billing and collecting the state per capita fee for livestock.

 

Per capita livestock fees partially fund the Montana Department of Livestock's mission to prevent, control and eradicate animal diseases; prevent the transmission of animal diseases to humans; and protect livestock industries from theft and predatory animals.

 

Payment in full is due to the Department of Revenue on or before November 30, the same time as the property owners pay the first half of their property tax payment to the county treasurer. If payment is late, penalty and interest will be assessed on the amount owed.

 

Although the Department of Revenue bills and collects this special fee, the funding goes to the Department of Livestock.

 

All livestock owners are required by law to report their livestock numbers to the Department of Revenue office in the county where the livestock are located as of February 1 of each year. Reporting forms are available. 

 

For more information, please visit the Department of Livestock's website or call (406) 444-9431.
