      <abstract>The levy districts were generated using Department of Revenue Property Assessment Division CAMA (ORION) levy attributes and GIS parcel boundaries.

Levy Districts:
The levy attributes were joined to the GIS parcel boundaries then the parcel boundaries were dissolved to produce the levy district. The levy boundaries are an approximation and known errors exist. Levy districts are updated periodically between July and January, with the final tax year levy districts updated by February 15 of each year.
	  
Creation of or Change to a Taxing Jurisdiction or Special District–Notification due January 1. 
	  
Local governments must submit formal notification to the department of the creation of or change to a taxing jurisdiction or special district by January 1 of the year in which the taxes or fees are to be assessed, per 15-10-321, MCA and 7-11-1014, MCA. The department recognizes signed resolutions as formal notification. Supporting documentation includes, at a minimum, a map and parcel information.
	  
Submit approved resolutions and supporting documentation to your local Department of Revenue field office by January 1. The department will review the documentation and coordinate with the treasurer’s office to assess the taxes or fees for that Tax Year.
