How Bozeman compares with other cities

From our cross-city data studies: the same measure, read the same way, for every city we cover.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Bozeman, BP_Comm_Dev_Report_Data_view (data behind the Building Permit Data Dashboard), read 19 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.

Permits the City of Bozeman Community Development issues inside the city limits only. Belgrade, Four Corners, Bridger Canyon and the rest of Gallatin County outside the city are not in this file.

  • The city's permit data names no contractor, so there are no contractor lists, rankings or firm pages for Bozeman.
  • The city issues a project's building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing work under one permit number; each number counts once here, under the kind of project it was applied for.
  • The data has no ZIP code, so there are no ZIP pages.
  • A final date is the date every part of the permit passed final inspection or the certificate of occupancy was issued. A permit past its expiration date without a final counts as expired.
  • The value is the valuation on the permit, which sets the fee. It is not a final cost.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
