ESTIMATED FUEL TAX ALLOCATIONS FOR FY25
Updated Gas Tax Allocation Process
In 2023, the Montana Legislature passed HB 76 which combines the separate allocations of state motor fuel taxes to local governments into a single monthly allocation. This includes the “old” gas tax statutory appropriation ($16,816,000 annually) and the BaRSAA allocation (the 2017 gas tax increase). This eliminates the red tape of BaRSAA - no more resolutions, local match or sending requests to MDT for allocation, reservation or re-allocation and no more reporting on projects.
Under HB 76, local governments now receive a monthly share of the gas tax collections from the previous month. The new distribution is be based on sales of gas, like the BaRSAA account, which means that monthly gas tax receipts fluctuate throughout the year as they are collected by the department. You can expect distributions to be higher in summer months and lower during the winter. MDT sends out monthly projections for the year in early June and additional updates if actual receipts start to significantly vary from the projections.
