Page 1
WATER RIGHT DISCLOSURE INFORMATION
The Water Right Disclosure is required by Montana Law. The Legislature requires both the buyer
and seller of property to know what the water right situation is—whether any water rights exist and
whether they are being transferred with or withheld from the property.
A water right is a legally protected right to benecially use water in priority that was obtained in
accordance with Montana law. Buyers should investigate whether water being used on a property
is allowed as a valid water right, or is merely an unauthorized and unprotectable use of water.
In Montana, all irrigation water rights must have a valid Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation (DNRC) water right number to be of record. However, existing water rights for livestock
and individual domestic use, as opposed to municipal use, based on an instream ow or groundwater
source before July 1, 1973, do not need a DNRC water right number. If a water right does not have a
DNRC number, and does not fall within the above narrow exception, there is no water right.
Once the water rights belonging to a property have been identied, the investigation of water rights
should not stop there. Although a water right may have a valid DNRC water right number, it may still
be subject to nal adjudication in Montana’s general stream adjudication. The Montana Water Court is
currently adjudicating all Statements of Claim for pre-July 1, 1973 water rights. A water right’s validity
is dependent on the results of its adjudication, and how its priority compares to other water rights
on a source of supply. The buyer and seller of a property may need to consult an attorney or water
rights consultant for an opinion of the status of the property’s water right. The Montana Water Court
can answer questions about the current status of Statements of Claim being adjudicated by calling
1-800-624-3270 (in state) or 406-586-4364.
Important: If there are water rights that have been historically used on the property being transferred,
but are not going to be transferred in the sale of land, the deed must specically exempt (reserve)
those water rights from the land sale. If the deed is silent, the water rights automatically pass with the
land by operation of law.
The following descriptions may be helpful to determine the appropriate box to mark in Part 7, Water
Rights Disclosure. If further assistance is needed, the buyer and seller of a property may want to seek
legal advice.
CHECK ONLY ONE BOX (on Part 7, Water Rights Disclosure on page 3)
To correctly complete the water right disclosure, the seller (grantor) needs to know if there are water
rights belonging to the subject property on record with the DNRC.
A. Property is served by a public water supply, i.e., city or water district provides water.
Check this box if the water you use on the land described in this document is provided by a city,
town, water users association or other entity. Seller’s (grantor) signature is not required in Part 7
if box A is checked. The seller does not need to le a Water Right Ownership Update form.
B. Seller has no water rights on record with DNRC to transfer. Check this box if there are no
water rights appurtenant to the subject property on record with the DNRC. The seller does not
need to le a Water Right Ownership Update form.
If only ling a Beneciary Deed, water rights do not transfer at this time. Check this box.
C. Seller is transferring ALL water rights on record with DNRC to the Buyer. If all of the water
rights belonging to the subject property on record with the DNRC will be transferred to the buyer,
check this box. All of the water rights associated with the land described in Part 3 will have the
owner name updated once the fee is submitted. Submit the proper fee and DNRC Water Right
Ownership Update, Form 608 (pages 6-7), to your local water resources ofce.
D. Seller is dividing or exempting (reserving) water rights. If the seller (grantor) has divided the
property and water rights or has exempted (reserved) the water rights (not transferred with the
land sale), check this box and complete the Certication of Water Right Ownership Update, form
640 (page 5). The seller (grantor) must submit a DNRC Ownership Update Exempt (Reserve)
Severed Water Right, Form 642 and ling fee identifying which water right has been kept by the
seller. If a water right has been divided, the seller must le a DNRC Ownership Update Divided
Interest, Form 641 and ling fee explaining how and with whom the water right was divided.
Contact the DNRC for information if water is used on the property other than described above.
