Broadwater County Solid Waste Business Assessment Fee Schedule to Be Clarified

Broadwater County Commissioners

Broadwater County Public Works Department and the Solid Waste Advisory Board have worked diligently to make solid waste accountable and fair for residences and businesses.

At the May 13th Solid Waste Advisory Board Meeting, the board voted to recommend that the County Commission adopt a business assessment fee schedule. Most businesses won’t see a change in their current assessment. This is to clarify the classification of a business and how many assessments will be charged to the business.

The range in assessments is from 1- 10+. Each assessment is $265. The assessment will be on the November 2025 tax bill. For those businesses within the city limits of Townsend, you pay for garbage to be picked up on your city water/sewer/garbage bill each month. That fee doesn’t cover the county's expense in disposing of it.

You can protest in writing to Broadwater County Public Works, 515 Broadway, Townsend, Montana 59644. The written protest must be received by May 27th,2025, at 4:00 p.m.

If you have any questions, please call Public Works Director TJ Graveley at 406-266-9207 or Assistant Public Works Director Misty Masolo at 406-266-9212.
