Montana collected $187 million in license taxes during the first quarter of 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

This represents a 1.6% increase over the same quarter the previous year, when license tax revenue was $184 million.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by state governments.

Overall, Montana collected $1.2 billion in combined tax revenues in Q1.
