Tax increase, cash reserves will cover new expenses in 2027 Great Falls budget
The Great Falls City Commission Tuesday passed a $169 million budget for 2027 and gave initial approval to property tax increases of about $61 on a $600,000 home. The budget includes plans to use $631,732 in general fund reserves to cover expenses, an annual practice that has diminished those reserves in recent years. And while not all budget requests made it into the 2027 document, city commissioners and the mayor will receive pay increases in a process that one commissioner decried as opaque.

Great Falls mid-year housing market review
Seven months into 2026, the housing market is showing signs of unwinding from the pandemic-era frenzy that drained supply, pushed prices to record highs, and brought activity to a standstill. Buyers have more homes to choose from than they did at the start of the year, competition has balanced in a few slower markets, and price growth has remained relatively modest.
