LC 2290 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise nuisance compliance laws

This bill updates Montana's local nuisance laws by requiring a minimum of three property owner complaints within a quarter-mile radius before county officers can inspect properties for community decay issues. It clarifies what constitutes a public nuisance by including conditions that endanger health, are offensive to the senses, or obstruct property use for an entire community or neighborhood. The legislation also adds a specific prohibition against placing violation notices on illegally parked vehicles in accessible parking spaces. These changes apply to counties and municipalities across Montana and will take effect on January 1, 2026.
