Montana HOA laws
What Montana asks of your association
Montana has no single HOA statute. HOAs run under their recorded declaration and bylaws, and incorporated associations follow the Montana Nonprofit Corporation Act (Title 35, ch. 2).
Montana has no comprehensive HOA-specific statute. Associations here are governed mainly by their recorded declaration and bylaws, plus the state's general nonprofit corporation law. The points below come from that corporate law, not an HOA-specific act.

This is general information to help boards get oriented, not legal advice. HOA statutes change and courts interpret them differently case to case. Confirm specifics with your association's attorney before acting.
