Remote HOA Management in Montana
Serving Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman
APM delivers professional HOA and condo management to Montana boards entirely online — software, financials, and board support for communities in Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, and beyond.
HOA and condominium boards in Montana — whether in Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman or smaller communities across the state — face the same core challenges: keeping financials accurate and transparent, enforcing community standards consistently, managing vendors accountably, and running compliant board meetings. Remote management through APM means your board gets professional support for all of these functions without the cost and overhead of a traditional local management company.
APM's remote management platform, HOA Alchemy, is the operating layer of your community. Board members get a live dashboard showing bank balances, reserve fund status, open violations, vendor work orders, and meeting history — updated in real time. Homeowners pay dues online, submit requests through the portal, and receive notices digitally. The whole community runs more efficiently, and your board spends less time on administrative overhead.
Montana community associations are governed by Montana Unit Ownership Act (MCA § 70-23-101) and Homeowners Association Act. Compliance with state law matters — incorrect election procedures, missing annual disclosures, or improperly documented enforcement actions expose boards to homeowner challenges and legal liability. APM's remote management team provides compliance guidance and documentation support to keep your Montana association running correctly, even without an in-state office.
Montana HOA & Condo Law Changes 2021–2025
Montana has passed significant HOA and condominium law updates in recent legislative sessions. Here is a bill-by-bill summary of what changed — and what your board must do to stay compliant.
2021 Legislative Session
Amended Montana's Unit Ownership Act to authorize electronic delivery of required notices and to permit board meetings and owner meetings to be conducted by video or telephone conference. Remote participation counts toward quorum. Associations must adopt a written policy governing electronic meetings before conducting the first electronic meeting.
Added MCA § 70-17-211, prohibiting Montana homeowners associations from adopting or enforcing any covenant, condition, or restriction that prohibits the installation of solar energy systems. Associations may impose reasonable placement standards that do not increase the cost of installation by more than 5% or reduce energy output by more than 10%.
2023 Legislative Session
Established a 30-day pre-lien notice requirement for Montana planned community and condominium associations, requiring certified mail delivery of a delinquency notice before recording an assessment lien. Established a right to cure and prohibited foreclosure for delinquencies of less than $1,000.
Clarified that Montana homeowners associations have authority to adopt and enforce restrictions on short-term rentals (under 30 days) through the standard governing document amendment process. Once adopted with the required member approval percentage, short-term rental restrictions are enforceable against all current and future owners in the development.
2025 Legislative Session
Enacted a statutory right for Montana community association members to inspect and copy the association's financial records, contracts, and meeting minutes within 10 business days of a written request. Associations may charge reasonable copying fees. Repeated failure to produce records within the statutory period may be the basis for a court order and attorney fee award.
Prohibited Montana homeowners and condominium associations from restricting an owner's right to install EV charging equipment in an assigned parking space. Associations may require licensed installation, prior written board approval, and owner-maintained equipment liability coverage but must process approval requests within 60 days.
