Montana: No Wholesaling-Specific Law

State: Montana | Status: No wholesaling-specific statute as of July 7, 2026 | Bottom line: Wholesale normally. Montana imposes zero wholesaler-specific requirements. The single rule to manage is the one every state enforces: no brokering without a license.

What This Means

Montana has no statute that names wholesalers, requires disclosures, sets waiting periods, or restricts assignments. A purchase contract here is governed by general contract law, which treats your rights as the buyer as assignable property unless the contract itself says no. Put the deal under contract with an assignment clause, bring your end buyer, assign, and collect the fee.

The licensing line is where you keep your discipline:

• Your ads sell the contract. "Assignable purchase agreement on 20 acres outside Billings, contract price $X" offers your own asset. Presenting the land or house itself as yours to sell, with no title and no license, is unlicensed brokerage bait.
• Every deal you assign should have you (or your entity) as the buyer on the contract. Collecting fees for pairing up other people's deals is licensed activity.
• Get licensed if you want to market properties head-on. It is the one fix that never expires.

Watch Out For

• Unlicensed brokerage exposure is the whole risk picture in Montana right now, and it is almost always triggered by marketing. Write ads you would be comfortable showing a regulator.
• Next door, North Dakota passed a wholesaling law (HB 1190), and the broader wave has reached about half the states. Montana's legislature meets on its own rhythm, but the idea is clearly circulating in the region.
• No Montana bill of any kind appeared in our three source reports. Check this page again before your next big push, because this space moves fast.
