ZONING VERIFICATION vs. RECORDS REQUEST 

A Zoning Verification (PDF) application requests official documentation of a property’s current zoning classification issued by the City of Bozeman. A verification letter will verify the status of the subject property at the time of issuance and will include the confirmation of address, zoning district, applicable planned development, any code violations on record, and existence of any approved or recorded regulatory plan and/or conditions with corresponding ordinances.

Please note that zoning verifications do not include a site inspection, only examination of records.

TO PROCEED W/ RECORDS REQUEST

Proceeding with requesting this information via records request will provide you with copies of files related to property (fees may apply) which will not include any interpretation or response to questions. Records are provided for independent file research.
