Bozeman MT - April 10, 2018 —

Venture West Ranches and Buzz Tatom are pleased to announce that they have released a digital copy of the Montana water rights report authored by Connor Mayberry, Digital Marketing, and Content Manager. The report gives great insight into water rights in Montana and how important it is for present and prospective owners to protect what could become their most valued asset as it relates to their Montana ranch. From a history, to present day rules, laws and uses this is a must read report for understanding Montana water rights.

Water rights are a critical issue in Montana and in other states and they are likely to become even more important over the coming years. Some investors are considering the purchase of real estate in order to secure water rights, or alternatively to purchase water rights separate from the land. Farmers and ranchers in Montana are well aware that water rights hold value, but many are unaware of just how much their water rights can change the value of a property in the next one or two decades.

A representative of Venture West Ranches explained to an interviewer, “As a real estate broker, we would always advise and request our clients hire a water consultant or an attorney that specializes in water rights. It will cost some money, but with the adjudication process of water rights, the historically inaccurate measurement process of water usage, and a hundred other factors, verifying water rights is critical. Water rights is a very complicated issue with lots of gray areas and a lot of disagreements between parties.”

The report on water rights covers a number of topics which will be of interest to anyone considering the purchase or sale of land, water rights or both. It explains the types of Montana water rights, including pre-1973 rights, use rights, filed rights, Federal Reserved and Native American Reserved Water Rights and new Appropriations. The report also covers a number of other water rights which may apply in a particular location or parcel of land. Appropriate legal representation is recommended when there is a question of water rights.
