LC 4238 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise subdivision family transfer laws

This bill revises Montana laws governing land divisions that are exempt from standard subdivision review, primarily affecting property owners transferring land to immediate family members. It clarifies exemptions for family transfers, agricultural land divisions, and boundary adjustments while requiring public hearings with 15 days notice to neighboring owners and water users. The legislation also mandates that all property taxes be paid before division, sets a $400 maximum fee for examining applications, and requires owners to sign affidavits confirming the proposed division meets legal requirements. Local governing bodies must complete their review within 20 working days and can only impose conditions necessary for survey compliance.
