Building Permits in Billings

Billings' Building Division requires online submission of building permits through its CityView public portal and performs plan review and inspections.

Permit requirements

The City states that a building permit is required for almost any construction on private property, including roofing and siding. Its published examples include fences at or above 8 feet and retaining walls exceeding 4 feet, while separate planning rules can apply to lower fences.

Inspections and occupancy

Building inspections are requested through the Building Division. For new or remodeled buildings, the City explains that a Certificate of Occupancy follows the required inspection process and correction of deficiencies.

Codes, fees and professional requirements

Applicable code editions, permit fees and Montana design-professional requirements vary by project. Confirm them with the Building Division; this guide does not substitute generic fee percentages or a universal seal rule.
