Lyn Bennett for Montana HD4 - Columbia Falls & Whitefish
PROVEN CONSERVATIVE RESULTS FOR COLUMBIA FALLS AND WHITEFISH
THE RESULTS: REAL TAX RELIEF FOR HD4
In the 2025 Legislative Session, we didn't just talk about tax reform—we delivered the most significant structural relief in Montana history.
- The Homestead Advantage: I fought for the Homestead Property Tax Act, creating a permanent tiered-rate system that protects local residents from out-of-state valuation spikes.
- 90% Success Rate: Because of this reform, nearly 90% of residential homeowners in our district saw their taxes cut or stay flat this year.
- Hard Savings for Your Family: According to verified data, these reforms saved the average Columbia Falls homeowner $1,183 and Whitefish homeowners $1,379 annually.
- Direct Rebates: We authorized the $400 property tax rebates to provide immediate cash relief to Montana families while our long-term structural changes were being implemented.
PROTECTING OUR LOCAL ECONOMY
Montana should be a place where families can afford to live and small businesses can afford to grow.
- Lower Income Taxes: I voted to simplify our state tax code and lower the top marginal income tax rate, ensuring you keep more of your paycheck every month.
- Supporting Main Street: I supported the expansion of the Business Equipment Tax exemption, effectively zeroing out this tax for nearly every small business in the Flathead Valley.
- Students Over Bureaucracy: We championed HB 567 to drive administrative efficiency in our schools, putting more money into teacher pay without raising your property taxes.
