2027 Legislature: Bill Information

NEXUS & PROPORTIONALITY

When a city annexes land for new homes, any infrastructure the city requires of the builder must be tied to the project's impacts and sized to match them, and the city must show its work in writing.

DEADLINE ENFORCEMENT

Montana law already sets deadlines for local governments to act on subdivision applications, but those deadlines are routinely missed, and there is no real way to enforce them. This bill fixes that. If a local government misses its deadline and still does not act within 10 business days of written notice, the builder can hire a pre-approved, licensed engineer or land surveyor to review the plat under the same rules.
