Liberty County, MT Property Records & Statistics
Liberty County offers lower rents and home prices than most of Montana but a heavier tax rate. The median rent is $670, below the state median of $736.75 and the national median of $840.25. Renter-occupied housing makes up 32.31% of occupied homes, well above the state's 24.36% and the national 21.81%, so renting is more common here than elsewhere.
The median home value is $124,600, far below Montana's $213,400 and under the national median of $173,750. The median property tax rate of 1.14% is higher than the state rate of 0.68% and the national rate of 0.74%, meaning owners pay a larger share of their home's value in tax.
The median household income is $49,953, lower than the state figure of $59,344 and the national $65,108. Employment is the county's standout: the unemployment rate is 0.2%, compared with 2.16% in Montana and 2.87% nationally.
