BUILDING PERMITS

APPLY FOR A BUILDING PERMIT

     ONLINE BUILDING PERMIT                 PRINT PAPER APPLICATION 

QUESTIONS

Please read below regarding permit requirements before applying. If in doubt as
to whether your building must be covered by a state building permit, e-mail the
Building Standards Section or call (406) 841-2056.

PURPOSE

The purpose of a state building permit is to safeguard the public health,
safety, and general welfare through structural strength, means of egress
facilities, stability, sanitation, adequate light and ventilation, energy
conservation, and safety to life and property from fire and other hazards
attributed to the built environment and to provide safety to firefighters and
emergency responders during emergency operations.

A state building permit is required prior to the start of construction for any
non-exempt building being built, remodeled, moved, or undergoing a change of
occupancy, except for projects located within the jurisdictional limits of
a certified local government program.

REQUIREMENTS    

Commercial Building Checklist

In Montana a state building permit is required prior to the start of
construction for certain types of new buildings, and/or for alterations,
additions, and repairs. Building permits must be issued on all required projects
before plumbing, mechanical or electrical permits can be issued and before work
authorized under these permits can start. To obtain a state building permit,
submit construction plans and a Building Permit/Plan Review Application to the
Building Codes Program for review and approval. Please use the checklist above
to ensure your submittal is complete. Applicants are encouraged to contact the
Bureau in the planning stages of their project. On average it takes three weeks
for a plan to be reviewed. Plan review comment letters and the Building
Permit/Plan Review fees are mailed or emailed to applicants. When all plan
review comments have been satisfactorily answered in writing and the fees paid,
the building permit is issued. It is the responsibility of the permit hold to
notify the inspector when work is ready for inspection and to provide access for
required inspections.

For energy efficiency information please see the Department of Environmental
Quality's - Energize Montana website.

EXEMPTIONS

In the State's jurisdiction, state law exempts the following from the need to
obtain state building permits:

 1. farm and ranch buildings
 2. mining buildings on mining property
 3. petroleum refineries and pulp and paper mills (except office and shop
    buildings)
 4. residential buildings containing less than five dwelling units (except when
