Dear Official(s),

Montana is facing a severe housing crisis due to outdated, government-imposed zoning laws that artificially restrict supply and drive up costs. Homeownership is slipping out of reach for many families because of these barriers.
A 2021 University of Montana report found that minimum lot size requirements increase housing prices by up to 20%, while many cities ban duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in single-family zones—limiting options and worsening affordability.
S.B. 266 fixes this without compromising neighborhood integrity by:
✅ Allowing duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in all single-family zones while maintaining local design standards
✅ Reducing unnecessary parking mandates that drive up costs without benefitting communities
✅ Permitting mixed-use developments in commercial zones to revitalize underutilized spaces
This builds on the Montana Land Use and Planning Act (S.B. 382) from 2023, which modernized land-use laws to cut through red tape and increase housing supply—all without harming the character of Montana’s neighborhoods.
Vote YES on S.B. 266 to lower housing costs, protect property rights, and ensure Montana remains a place where families can afford to live and thrive.

Montana is facing a severe housing affordability crisis—and California-style zoning laws are to blame. Government restrictions have artificially driven up home prices, making it nearly impossible for young families, workers, and retirees to afford housing in our own state.

📊 THE FACTS:
✅ Home prices have skyrocketed—median home prices in cities like Bozeman have doubled in the last decade, reaching over $700,000!
✅ Rents are out of control—Billings, Missoula, and Kalispell have seen rent spikes of 40%+ in just a few years.
✅ Limited housing supply—Restrictive zoning laws prohibit duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in most neighborhoods, just like in California. This artificially restricts supply, driving up costs while developers struggle to build.

WE CAN FIX THIS. Senate Bill 266 removes these failed zoning policies, allowing property owners to build what Montana needs—without government overreach.

📢 SIGN THE LETTER NOW to demand your lawmakers vote YES on S.B. 266 and end California-style zoning in Montana! Let’s lower housing costs, protect property rights, and unleash the free market before it’s too late.
