Planning & Zoning

Planning

The Town Planning section manages Growth Policy requirements and legislative initiatives of the Town Council and Administration as they relate to that policy. The section facilitates a long-range vision for the community that is implemented through adopted plans, policies, code, and partnerships. For more information, call (406) 777-5271.

Zoning
