City residents contribute directly to the operation of Parks and Recreation programs through payment of their property taxes. A

Who is a Kalispell City Resident? Kalispell City residents live within the city limits proper. The actual boundaries for the City of Kalispell are not the same area as those

the city limits. We can help you verify whether your address is within the city limits by calling 758-7849.
How do I Get a City Resident Discount? If you are a Kalispell City property owner all you need to do is let us know what your address is and we can look you up on our
property owner list. If you are a renter we ask that you bring in a current Rental Receipt or Lease Agreement that clearly shows your name, the address, and a recent date. This will prove your residency. Bring proof to 306 First Avenue East. Office hours are Monday
