Generally revise laws relating to real property
This bill updates Montana's real property laws to clarify tenant rights and streamline land division rules. It allows tenants to remove trade/manufacture fixtures without damaging property and enables owners of fixed improvements (like homes) to resolve ownership disputes through court actions. The bill adds specific exemptions to subdivision review requirements, including court-ordered land divisions, mortgage-related lot creations, agricultural covenants, cemetery lots, and certain utility rights-of-way. It also requires courts to notify local governments before approving land divisions under new exemption rules.
