What is an Exemption Survey?

There are two primary ways to divide property in Montana, through subdivision review or through an exemption survey. Requirements for subdivision review vary from County to County but typically involve lengthy review times and permitting processes prior to preliminary or final plat. Exemption surveys still require that a Certificate of Survey be prepared by a Professional Land Surveyor but are exempt from most of the longer requirements and permitting that traditional subdivision review involve. Please contact us at (406) 201-9402 for a free consultation to see if a qualifying exemption may be available: immediate family transfer, boundary line relocation, utility site survey, court order division, amended plat, lot aggregation or agricultural exemption.
