Provide for property owners to vote to add, remove, amend easements and covenants
This bill allows property owners in Montana to vote on changes to easements, covenants, conditions, and restrictions that apply to multiple residential properties, requiring a majority vote from participating owners to approve, remove, or amend these agreements. It establishes a clear process for making these changes, including 30 days of notice, options for voting by mail or in person, and provisions for written proxies, while also ensuring owners retain rights to participate in homeowners' association governance and financial decisions. The law applies to existing agreements and new ones created on or after the bill's effective date, with special rules for documents that previously required unanimous consent or lacked an amendment procedure.
