Tyler Gernant is a fourth-generation Montanan and third-generation Missoulian serving as the Missoula County Clerk and Recorder, Treasurer, and Surveyor.

In his current role, Tyler is committed to helping Missoulians navigate the complexities of property taxes and real estate transactions. A firm believer in accessible, high-quality public service, he has worked tirelessly to improve the Missoula County Motor Vehicle Division, significantly decreasing wait times and prioritizing a positive customer experience. As a statewide leader on legislative issues, Tyler has also helped develop innovative solutions to the long-standing challenges facing Montana’s clerks and treasurers.

Tyler’s strong work ethic was established early—starting with his first job at 15—and carried him through his undergraduate studies at Georgetown University. During college, he worked in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Following graduation, he worked on the presidential campaign for Sen. John Edwards, forging relationships that continue to serve the people of Missoula County today.

Prior to earning his Juris Doctor at the University of Montana, where he focused on taxation and business law, Tyler worked as a middle and high school substitute teacher. He then spent seven years as an attorney, representing small businesses and individuals in tax, business, and real estate matters before entering public service.

Tyler and his wife, Katie, are the proud parents of two children. Outside of the office, they enjoy fly-fishing, cheering on the Montana Grizzlies, and passing along the Montana values of hard work, responsibility, and accountability to the next generation.
