Published On: July 30, 2025

If you’re a homeowner in the U.S., especially in Montana or Rhode Island, there’s good news—you may be eligible for a $675 property tax rebate in 2025. These rebates are part of each state’s effort to help residents handle rising housing costs, and they can make a big difference for retirees, working families, and people with disabilities. Whether you’re planning ahead or still eligible to apply, this guide breaks it all down clearly so you don’t miss out.

Overview

The $675 property tax rebate is available to eligible residents in Montana and Rhode Island, with specific rules and deadlines in each state. While Montana’s application deadline has already passed, Rhode Islanders still have time to submit their claims.

Here’s a quick comparison:

Program Name	State	Max Rebate	Deadline	Payment Method
Property Tax Rebate	Montana	$675	October 1, 2024	Paper check only
Property Tax Relief Credit	Rhode Island	$675	August 15, 2025	Tax credit or mailed refund check

Let’s look at the details for each program.

Montana

To qualify for Montana’s $675 rebate, you must:

Have owned and lived in a residential property for at least 7 months in 2023
Have paid property taxes on that home in 2023
Own the property in your name (not through a trust, LLC, or corporation)
Live in a qualifying home like a house, condo, mobile home, or manufactured home

How to Apply

Although the application period ended on October 1, 2024, here’s how the process worked for those who filed:

Apply online at getmyrebate.mt.gov or submit a paper form
Provide your geocode, Social Security Number, amount of tax paid, and mailing address
Online submissions were processed faster than paper applications

When to Expect Payment

Online applications: Checks mailed within 30 days
Paper forms: Processed within 90 days
Payment is by paper check only—no direct deposit

If you missed the 2024 deadline, it’s smart to keep an eye out for future relief programs and make sure your property taxes are up to date.

Rhode Island

Rhode Island offers a similar rebate, but with different eligibility criteria. To qualify in 2025, you must:

Be a legal resident of Rhode Island for all of 2024
Have household income below $39,275
Be age 65 or older, or disabled (receiving SSDI), by December 31, 2024
Be up to date on rent or property tax payments

Renters may also qualify. The state assumes that 20 percent of your rent counts as a property tax contribution.

How to Apply

To claim this credit:

File Form RI-1040H with your state tax return by August 15, 2025
Submit proof of all income
Include rent receipts and landlord details (if you rent)
If you’re a homeowner, show evidence of your property tax payments

How Payments Work

If you owe state income tax, the rebate reduces your tax bill
If you owe nothing, you’ll receive a refund check
Payments are issued after the tax return is processed

Whether you’re a senior living on a fixed income or a renter trying to make ends meet, Rhode Island’s rebate can offer meaningful relief in 2025.

Don’t Miss Out

These rebates are more than a one-time perk—they’re financial relief designed to help people keep their homes, pay their bills, and afford everyday living expenses. Here are a few tips to stay on track:

Mark your calendar with your state’s deadlines
Keep property tax and rent receipts organized
Monitor your income if you’re close to the limit
Reach out to your state Department of Revenue if you need help

Even if you missed Montana’s deadline this year, it’s worth planning ahead for next year’s filing. Rhode Islanders still have time to claim this benefit and should act quickly before the August 15, 2025 deadline.
