How tax-default sales work in Montana

Montana is a other state with tax deed sales as a secondary path. Sales are administered at the county level by the County Treasurer under MCA §§15-17-125, 15-17-323; Title 15 Chs. 17-18.

When a parcel becomes eligible. Delinquent property tax lien attaches under statute and may later be assigned upon payment of taxes, penalties, interest and costs.

When sales happen. No uniform competitive annual investor auction; county may assign a tax lien after statutory notices and under county policy.

How bidding works. Assignment rather than a statewide competitive auction; county policy governs priority if multiple parties seek assignment.

What the winning bidder gets. Assignment of tax lien / certificate interest. Owner redemption after the sale: Yes.
