A group that has repeatedly sought to advance ballot initiatives that would cap property tax growth on Montana homes said last week that it is taking another run at the idea, proposing a constitutional amendment that could appear on the 2026 ballot if it survives likely legal challenges and qualifies via a signature drive.
