Construction Defect Laws in Montana.

Montana construction defect claims are governed by a 3-year statute of limitations for property damage claims and a 10-year statute of repose from substantial completion. Montana has adopted a construction defect Right-to-Repair Notice Act requiring pre-suit notice and opportunity to repair for claims against contractors. Mechanics' liens provide security for contractor payment claims. Montana also recognizes implied warranty of habitability for new residential construction.
