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 rights 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 beneficially 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 flow 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 identified, 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 final 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 specifically 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 file 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 file a Water Right Ownership Update form.
If only filing a Transfer on Death 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 office.
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 Certification 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 filing fee, identifying which water right has been kept by the
seller. If a water right has been divided, the seller must file a DNRC Ownership Update Divided
Interest, Form 641 and filing 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•If you do not attach copies of the full recorded chain of conveyance from the DNRC record owner to the new /current property / water right owner, DNRC cannot process the form. Example: Owner A files a water right andsells property to owner B but does not update the ownership of the water right. Owner B sells property to ownerC who finds and attempts to update ownership of the water right. DNRC needs recorded conveyancedocuments from A to B and B to C because A is still listed in DNRC records.
•Do not file this form if only a portion of the seller’s interest of the water right is being transferred. Complete andfile Form 641 DNRC Ownership Update Divided Interest.
•Do not file this form if you are severing a water right. Complete and file Form 642 DNRC Ownership UpdateExempt (Reserved) / Severed Water Right.
•Do not file this form if your only use of water is from an irrigation district, municipal system, water users’association, or other public water supply.
•If the sale is on a Contract for Deed, the seller will remain listed as a co-owner of the water right until thecontract is satisfied.
