Montana Building Permits
State enforces where local programs aren't certified.
How Building Permits Work in Montana
The state government, through the Department of Labor and Industry, acts as the primary permitting authority for the majority of the state's geographic area. Only jurisdictions that have applied for and received state certification can issue their own permits; otherwise, builders must go to the state.
Model: State-Mandated
