Local Government Services (LGS) works with local governments (counties, cities & towns, school districts and special districts) to ensure uniform financial accountability, and to assist the local governments in complying with their statutory financial and budgetary reporting requirements, including provisions of the Montana Single Audit Act. The LGS Local Government Entity Portal provides transparency in Montana’s local government reporting by making these reports readily available to the public.
Local government entity reports and related documents are available to view or download. Search the portal by clicking the Public Information drop-down (above) and selecting a report type to view and search on, or filter the information within the local government listings.
