Remove the restriction on inclusionary zoning
This bill removes state-level restrictions that currently prevent Montana cities and towns from requiring developers to pay fees or dedicate land for affordable housing. By repealing specific sections of the Montana Code Annotated, the legislation allows local governments to mandate that housing projects include units for specified income levels or sell at specified prices. The key change eliminates the prohibition on fees and land dedications that were previously in place under state zoning laws. Local municipalities would gain the authority to implement inclusionary zoning policies to address housing affordability within their jurisdictions.
