TAX PAYMENTS
COME in EARLY
New Law Gives Lien on Personal
Property for
Taxes

Personal tax payments for 1925 are
being received at the county treasur-
er's office in much larger numbers
than is usual at this time of the year,
according to w. D. Bell, deputy coun-
ty treasurer. Tax on personal prop
erty where there is no real estate is
ccIlectible as soon as assessed and IN
such cases is based upon the 1924 levy
which in the city of Bozeman for
state, county, city and school purposes
was 74.15 mills, with 8 mills addition
al on livestock.
In the city especially, there are a
considerable number of levies on per-
sons, firms and companies which own
no real estate. These include people
who live in rented houses or apart
ments, and also a fairly large proper
tion of business houses. The law
prOvides that taxes in such cases car
be collected at any time and that the
property may be levied upon for the
taxes.
According to a new law, copies o.
which have just been received at thi
treasurer's office, evasion of persona
taxes is made more difficult. Th'
tax IS a prior lien upon such persona
property assessed, which lien shall
have precedence over any other lien o.
claim. The law formerly held tina
every tax due upon personal %propert!
is a lien upon the real property o
the owner from and after the frs
Monday in March. This provision
also maintained in the new law.
According to the interpretatio'
given the law at the county treasur
er's office, all purchasers of persona
property upon which a tax has bee
levied do so at the risk of havin
, taxes collected against the article O
articles purchased. The purchaser
of secondhand property, whether ca
= or furniture, should therefore TAX
: the same care to see that the take
have been paid on the articles the
/. buy as they would in purchasing rel
{ estate.
