Yellowstone County has no general on-street parking meter or permit ordinance for its rural roads. Statewide rules (MCA 61-8) govern how and where you may stop on a public highway; municipal on-street rules apply only inside Billings and Laurel.
Unincorporated county roads are largely rural, and the county does not run a metered or permit on-street parking program. State law controls: under Montana Code, a vehicle stopped on a two-way roadway must be parked with the right-hand wheels within 18 inches of the curb or as close as practicable to the right edge of the shoulder, and stopping is prohibited in specified hazardous places (near crossings, fire stations, traffic-control devices). Local authorities "may by ordinance permit angle parking" and place traffic-control devices restricting parking where dangerous, but the county has not blanketed rural roads with such rules. On-street time limits, meters, and residential permits are city matters—check Billings or Laurel code if you're inside city limits.
State traffic-stopping violations are enforced by the Sheriff/Highway Patrol as non-moving traffic offenses; no county on-street parking fine schedule exists for rural roads.
