It has been argued that black hole solutions become unavoidably time-dependent when the graviton has a mass. In this work we show that, if the apparent horizon of the black hole is a null surface with respect to a fiducial Minkowski reference metric, then there is a natural sense in which the location of the horizon is necessarily time-independent, despite the dynamical metric possessing no time-like Killing vector. We derive a second law of black hole mechanics for these black holes and determine their surface gravity. An additional assumption establishes a zeroth and a first law of black hole mechanics. These results are nonperturbative and model-independent. We apply these results to the specific model of dRGT ghost-free massive gravity and show that consistent solutions exist which obey the required assumptions. We determine the time-dependent scalar curvature at the horizon of these black holes.
