Complete·5/1/25

Montana HB325 revises covenant laws to prevent enforcement actions against property owners using their land similarly to others in the same.

Montana HB325 modifies covenant laws to prohibit enforcement actions against property owners using their land similarly to others in the same development. Covenants, conditions, and restrictions remain enforceable if necessary for compliance with laws, easements, infrastructure maintenance, court orders, utility installations, or nuisance abatement. A covenant is considered abandoned if no enforcement action has been taken for 15 years. Parties who can initiate legal actions include those in the original agreement, property owners, and homeowners' associations.
