Montana eviction research
State context for eviction filings, plus directories of Montana counties and major cities. Cited volumes come from named public sources — never from a fabricated local count.
What a filing means in Montana
An eviction filing is a court case asking a judge for possession of a rental unit. It is not a lockout. Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, and removing belongings without a court process are illegal. Local courts and executing offices set their own calendars — we do not publish guaranteed timelines.
Montana unlawful detainer actions are typically filed in justice court or district court.
EvictIQ operational timestamps (service attempts, writ applications, setout windows) are not claimed for this state. What follows is process education and public-source geography, not a field-coverage claim.
None of this is legal advice. Statutes, local rules, and court practice change.
Major cities

Counties and county-equivalents
Every Montana county-equivalent has a page. Templates are intentionally thin: a filing is a court case, not a lockout, and we do not invent a county filing total when we do not have one.
