Additionally, the voted 24-mill levy for the Fire Department will be converted into a dollar value voted levy in accordance with Senate Bill 542 and House Bill 231. All maintenance assessments will be assessed at the same rate as the prior year. All concerned persons are invited to attend the public hearing on the matters described above. A decision on approving the budget, taxes, assessments, and possible fiscal year 2025 budget amendments will be made after considering comments at this public hearing. Individuals, any taxpayer, or resident may appear or submit written testimony at the hearing and be heard for or against any part of the proposed fiscal year 2025 budget amendments, final budget for fiscal year 2026, appropriations, tax levy, and assessments. Written comments may be delivered or mailed to Michelle Howke, City Clerk, 418 E. 2nd Street, PO Box 158, Whitefish, MT 59937, or emailed to [email protected], by 4:00 pm on Monday, August 18, 2025. Additional information regarding the proposed amendments, the final budget, property tax levy, and assessments may be obtained by contacting Dana Smith, City Manager, 406-863-2406, or visiting the City’s website, www.cityofwhitefish.gov.
