2. WANT TO BUILD A TINY HOME IN BOZEMAN? NOT SO FAST.
The TV show "Tiny House Living" has created a lot of interest in building tiny homes between 400 and 600 sqft. But here in Bozeman, city zoning requirements mandate a minimum of 1,100 sq.ft for a home within city limits. If you go outside city limits, most home lots are within subdivisions whose covenants have a minimum of between 1,100 sqft and 1,500 sq.ft. If you want to build a tiny house in the Bozeman area, you will likely have to find a piece of land outside city limits with no covenants.
