vermiculite ecotaxes on resource extraction are numerous a 1974 state severance tax on coal which varied from 20 to 30 was upheld by the supreme court of the united states in commonwealth edison co v montana 453 u s 609 1981 258 according to montana s secretary of state christi jacobsen montana has experienced a record number of new businesses registered four consecutive years as of 2025 according to the report new business formations increased from 4 900 in the month of september 2024 to more than 6 000 in september 2025 259 tourism is also important to the economy with more than ten million visitors a year to glacier national park flathead lake the missouri river headwaters the site of the battle of little bighorn and three of the five entrances to yellowstone national park 260 in 2023 outdoor recreation accounted for 4 6 of montana gross domestic product which is the third highest percentage of any state 261 employment in the outdoor sector was 5 8 of all jobs also placing it third in the nation 261 the state has held third in these categories for more than a decade 261 montana s corporate income tax as of 2025 is 6 75 percent while the state s personal income tax contains seven brackets with rates ranging from 1 0 to 6 75 percent 262 montana has no sales tax and household goods are exempt from property taxes however property taxes are assessed on livestock farm machinery heavy equipment automobiles trucks and business equipment the amount of property tax owed is not determined solely by the property s value the property s value is multiplied by a tax rate set by the montana legislature to determine its taxable value the taxable value is then multiplied by the mill levy established by various taxing jurisdictions city and county government school districts and others 263 in the 1980s the absence of a sales tax became economically deleterious to communities bound to the state s tourism industry as the revenue from income and property taxes provided by residents was grossly insignificant in regards to paying for the impact of non residential travel especially road repair in 1985 the montana legislature passed a law allowing towns with fewer than 5 500 residents and unincorporated communities with fewer than 2 500 to levy a resort tax if more than half the community s income came from tourism the resort tax is a sales tax that applies to hotels motels and other lodging and camping facilities restaurants fast food stores and other food service establishments taverns bars night clubs lounges or other public establishments that serve alcohol as well as destination ski resorts or other destination recreational facilities 264 it also applies to luxuries defined by law as any item normally sold to the public or to transient visitors or tourists that does not include food purchased unprepared or unserved medicine medical supplies and services appliances hardware supplies and tools or any necessities of life 265 approximately 12 2 million non residents visited montana in 2018 and the population was estimated to be 1 06 million this extremely disproportionate ratio of residents paying taxes vs non residents using state funded services and infrastructure makes montana s resort tax crucial in order to safely maintain heavily used roads and highways as well as protect and preserve state parks as of august 2025 update the state s unemployment rate is 2 9 266 the lowest historical rate was 2 4 in february 2023 and the highest was 11 9 in april 2020 during the early covid 19 pandemic in the united states 266 education see also

virginia city via wagon train in 1865 to become a certified teacher raymond took a test in her home and paid a 6 fee in gold dust to obtain a teaching certificate with the help of an assistant teacher
