Bozeman Best Places To Bring Up Your Kids in Montana

From Big Sky to the Bridger Range there are multiple things for you and your children to do in Bozeman, MT.

Sourdough Ski Trails 2011 Brett Fagan

December 2011: If you want to ski or snowboard, hike or hunt, the Bozeman Montana region, has wonderful public and private schools; a major agricultural and technical university, Montana State University (MSU); shopping malls; museums (Museum of the Rockies with dinosaurs!); art galleries; music venues; health clubs…all sorts of indoor and outdoor forms to keep the kids busy!

For more information on the rating of Bozeman as a Best Place To Raise Your Kids in Montana, go to Bloomberg’s BusinessWeek.

Though Montana’s population just topped 1 million residents, Bozeman’s population is only about 36,000. Located at latitude 45.68N, longitude, 111.05W, elevation 4772′, the city is in southwestern Montana and is the seat of Gallatin County, MT, with a population of about 87,400.In the late 1800′s many called Bozeman The Egypt or The Garden Spot of Montana.

In the winter, Bozeman parents and their kids, if not in the great public and private Bozeman schools, are cross-country skiing, sledding, or attending sports events, theaters, and musical venues.

Here’s the lay of the land: Bozeman is in the Gallatin Valley with the Bridger Mountains to the east, the Big Belt Mountains to the north, the Tobacco Root Mountains to the west, and the Gallatin Range, rugged Hyalite Mountains, and spectacular Spanish Peaks of the Madison Range to the south.

Bozeman Home Prices and Montana Unemployment Less Hard Hit

According to Fiserv (FISV), a financial analytics company, United States’ home values are projected to decline a further 3.6 percent by June 2012, which, if true, would drive USA home prices to a new low: 35% below the early 2006 peak, resulting in a triple price dip, which has not been the case in the Bozeman Montana real estate market.

On the National front, several factors appear to be against a US housing market recovery in 2012, which include both continued home foreclosures and high unemployment, according to David Stiff, Chief Economist at Fiserv.

On the Montana front, the Bozeman home sales market appears to be ready to defy this national trend with far fewer mortgage defaults and higher employment figures (see MT Employment Growth Table above) than most of the United States.

Learn Montana’s Tax Structure – Property, Corporate, Income Taxes

The State of Montana has no use and levies no general sales tax on consumers, a standard also shared by Delaware, Alaska, New Hampshire and Oregon. Two of Montana’s excise taxes are the cigarette tax (1921), $1.70 per pack, ranking this tax 13th highest, and the gasoline tax (1947), 27.75 cents per gallon, 18th in United States. Montana’s personal income tax rate is composed of seven individual brackets. The top rate, ~6.9%, is levied when a person’s income surpasses ~$14,900.

Like the majority of states levying both, Montana’s local property tax rate is higher than the state’s property tax rate. According to fiscal year 2004 data from the United States Census Bureau, Montana loacalities and communities reaped $774,842,000 from property taxes. During fiscal year 2002, Montana collected $183,937,000 in property taxes.
