What people build in Livingston
Town lots and ranch ground along the river, with heavy winter snow as a given.
Shops & garages
Unfinished and under sixty feet wide, tubular steel is usually the answer, sized for the snow at your address.
Equipment storage
Plows, trucks and trailers need a wide door. Every two feet of eave above twelve adds roughly five percent to the frame.
Barns & hay
Barns and hay storage go up on ranch ground. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.
Barndominiums
Steel truss is the fit. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.

Permitting metal buildings in Livingston
Inside Livingston
- The city reviews plans and inspects under the International Building and Residential Codes.
- Permit fees follow project cost, and a 65% plan review fee is added to projects valued over $15,000.
- Building Department: (406) 222-0083.
The trades
- The city doesn’t issue permits or inspect electrical, plumbing or HVAC work.
- Those come from the State Building Codes Bureau, (406) 841-2056.
Park County ground
- Park County doesn’t run a certified program, so the state has jurisdiction.
- Farm and ranch buildings, and homes with fewer than five units, don’t need a state permit.
- Ground snow comes from the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool, and single-story metal-frame footings go at least 3 feet deep.
Budget for plan review up front. Livingston adds a 65% plan review fee to projects valued over $15,000, and most shops clear that mark. We put it in the project budget from the start so it isn’t a surprise at the counter.
We also serve Paradise Valley, Clyde Park, Wilsall and Big Timber. See Bozeman & the Gallatin Valley or all of Montana.
