Allow revocation of agricultural covenant on lands annexed into municipality
This bill allows local governments in Montana to cancel agricultural covenants on land that has been annexed into a municipality, enabling the land to be developed without undergoing subdivision review. The law applies specifically to properties that previously received exemptions from subdivision requirements under state agricultural zoning laws. Under the new provisions, a governing body can revoke the covenant if the land is annexed, provided that original lot lines are restored or the land is used for public purposes, though public hearings are required for certain revocations. Sanitary restrictions related to water and waste remain unaffected by this change.
