Commissioners will appoint a person to serve as the acting officer until the vacancy is filled. Such appointee shall be a qualified elector and resident within the City-County for at least one year prior to applying and shall serve until the next general election, at which time a person shall be elected to fill the remainder of the original term.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS MAY 20th, 2026, AT 12 NOON

Interviews will be held the evening of May 20th, 2026, at the regular Council of Commissions meeting at 7:30 pm at the Council Chambers ( 155 W Granite St., Room 208, Butte, MT 59701). All applicants are required to bring proof of residency with them to the interviews.

Qualifications For County Office:

7-4-2201. General qualifications for county office. A person is not eligible for a county office who at the time of election is not:

(1) of the voting age required by the Montana constitution;

(2) a citizen of the state; and

(3) (a) an elector of the county in which the duties of the office are to be exercised; or

(b) in the case of an office consolidated between two or more counties, an elector in one of the counties in which the duties of the office are to be exercised.

7-4-2904. Qualifications for office of county coroner. (1) In addition to the qualifications set forth in 7-4-2201 (https://leg.mt.gov/bills/mca/title\0070/chapter\0040/part\0220/section\0010/0070-0040-0220-0010.html) , to be eligible for the office of coroner, at the time of election or appointment to office a person must be a high school graduate or holder of an equivalency of completion of secondary education as provided by the superintendent of public instruction under 20-7-131 (https://leg.mt.gov/bills/mca/title\0200/chapter\0070/part\0010/section\0310/0200-0070-0010-0310.html) or of an equivalency issued by another state or jurisdiction.

(2) Each coroner, before entering the duties of office, shall:

(a) take and file with the county clerk the constitutional oath of office; and

(b) certify to the county clerk that:

(i) the individual has satisfactorily completed the basic coroner course of study provided in 7-4-2905 (https://leg.mt.gov/bills/mca/title\0070/chapter\0040/part\0290/section\0050/0070-0040-0290-0050.html) or that the individual has completed the equivalent educational requirements approved by the attorney general; or

(ii) the individual intends to take the basic coroner course at the next offering of the course if the coroner has been appointed or was elected by other than a local government general election and, from the date of appointment or election and assumption of the duties as coroner, a basic coroner course was not offered. A coroner forfeits office for failure to take and satisfactorily complete the next offering of the basic coroner course.

Coroner Education And Continuing Education

7-4-2905. Coroner education and continuing education. (1) Coroner education must be conducted by the Montana public safety officer standards and training council established in 2-15-2029 (https://leg.mt.gov/bills/mca/title\0020/chapter\0150/part\0200/section\0290/0020-0150-0200-0290.html) . The council may adopt rules establishing standards and procedures for basic and advanced education. The cost of conducting the education must be borne by the department of justice from money appropriated for the education. The county shall pay the salary, mileage, and per diem of each coroner-elect, coroner, and deputy coroner attending from that county.

(2) (a) The council shall conduct a 40-hour basic coroner course of study after each general election. The course, or an equivalent course approved by the council, must be completed before the first Monday in January following the election. The council may conduct other basic coroner courses at times it considers appropriate.

(b) The council shall annually conduct a 16-hour advanced coroner course. Unless there are exigent circumstances, failure of any coroner or deputy coroner to satisfactorily complete the advanced coroner course, or an equivalent course approved by the council, at least once every 2 years results in forfeiture of office. The council may adopt rules providing a procedure to extend the 2-year period because of exigent circumstances.
