We are excited to announce that Yellowstone County will be changing its look online! Both the Main ( https://www.yellowstonecountymt.gov/) and the Mapping Websites ( https://maps.yellowstonecountymt.gov/mapping/index.html) will be changing. All the same information with a new design. Our goal is to move to a more responsive site for mobile devices while giving a visual upgrade to our computer users. This upgrade will take time and you may experience pages not loading properly during the migration. Only the department or map being worked on will be impacted. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. |

**Yellowstone County Email Spoofing Warning** Email spoofing is the creation of email messages with a forged sender address.

District Court would in no circumstances notify someone of either civil or criminal proceedings against them by phone. **Justice Court Telephone Scam Warning** The Yellowstone County Justice Court recently received information of a scam to steal your money and/or personal information.
