State Fee for Hail Insurance Coverage
The Department of Revenue is responsible for billing and collecting state hail insurance premiums.
The State Hail Insurance Program was enacted in 1917 to provide hail insurance coverage on any crop grown in Montana. The program, under the Department of Agriculture, is directed by a producer oriented State Board of Hail Insurance and has provided a valuable service to Montana producers throughout the years.
Payment in full is due to the Department of Revenue on or before November 30, the same time as the property owners pay the first half of their property tax payment to the county treasurer. If payment is late, penalty and interest will be assessed on the amount owed.
Although the Department of Revenue bills and collects this special fee, the funding goes to the Department of Agriculture.
For more information, please call the department's Customer Service Center at (406) 444-6900.
