the steps required to meet the ordinance. The updates to the manual include the following:
1. Removal of any sections that included pricing for a household at 80% Area Median Income to
meet the requirements of the Affordable Housing Ordinance which prices at 70% & 90% AMI.
2. An update of exhibits to include the current Affordable Housing Plan, updated pricing
schedule, explanation of cash and non-cash subsidy, legal documentation for the closing of
properties and recapture of cash and non-cash subsidies, buyer certification letters and marketing
flyers.

budget is a line item for down payment assistance and impact fee reimbursement. During the
development process, an Affordable Housing Plan is submitted by the applicant. This plan is brought to
CAHAB for recommendation to and then approval by the commission. This resolution will allow the
Community Development Director the ability to disburse down payment assistance and impact fee
reimbursement to projects with approved Commission Affordable Housing Plans. Disbursed funds will
be reported quarterly to the Commission.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None determined at this time.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct staff to amend the manual
2. As determined by the Commission

Purpose of the AHO Administrative Manual
The purpose of this Administrative Manual (“manual”) is to provide guidance and information
for the effective and efficient implementation and administration of Chapter 38, division 380 of
the Bozeman Municipal Code as created pursuant to Ordinance 1922 (“Affordable Housing
Ordinance” or “AHO”). This manual is to be used as a guide for administrators of the City’s
affordable housing program, developers and builders of affordable homes, city agents for
affordable housing services and other interested parties.
In the case of a conflict or difference of interpretation between the text of this manual and the
text of the AHO, the AHO controls. The Community Development Director may update this
manual periodically to reflect updates in the AHO, the annual release of Area Median Income
(AMI) by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), or make other
administrative edits to correct errors in the manual.
Goals for the Affordable Housing Program*
*Goals will be set on an annual basis using the updated action plan when completed.
The City Commission will annually set goals for the creation of affordable housing. For the
first two years of the program, 2016-2017, the City Commission set the following goals for
voluntary development of affordable homes, through the adoption of Ordinance 1922:
Affordable Homes, single family or townhomes, to be constructed and sold prior to
September 12, 2016: fourteen (14) of which a minimum of four shall meet the
definition of Lower-Priced Homes. Of these four Lower-Priced Homes, three must be
sold at or below the maximum price schedule established for 80% of Area Median Income
(AMI). One of the Lower-Priced Homes may be sold at or below the price scheduled
established for 70% AMI.
Affordable Homes, single family or townhomes, to be constructed and sold prior to June 12,
2017: twenty seven (27) Affordable Homes, of which no less than seven (7) shall meet the
definition of Lower-Priced Homes. Of these seven Lower-Priced Homes, five (5) must be
sold at or below the maximum price schedule established for 80% of Area Median Income
(AMI). Two (2) of the Lower-Priced Homes may be sold at or below the price scheduled
established for 70% AMI.
Affordable Homes, single family or townhomes, to be constructed and sold prior to
December 12, 2017: fifty four (54) Affordable Homes, of which no less than twelve (12)
shall meet the definition of Lower-Priced Homes. Of these twelve Lower-Priced Homes,
three (3) must be sold at or below the maximum price schedule established for 70% AMI.
These target dates were extended once by Ordinance 1954. Under the terms of the
AHO, should any of the goals described above not be met by a target date, the
187
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 4
requirements of 38.380 would become mandatory. The requirements became
mandatory on July 12, 2017, meaning development proposals submitted after that date
are required to provide 10% of the total residential units in the development as Lower-
Priced Homes (70% AMI), 30% of the total residential units as Moderate-Priced Home
(90% AMI), or a mix of both types as defined in the AHO and this Manual.
1. Applicability
City of Bozeman Ordinance 1922 applies to all of the following:
a. Subdivisions and Site Plans which propose 10 or more new market rate homes
b. Annexations where the net developable area could result in 10 or more dwellings
c. Developments seeking to use incentives to develop affordable housing
d. Condominiums and rental units are exempt from the AHO
2. Definitions
Most of the definitions that are used in the manual can be found in Section 38.380.040 –
Definitions of the Bozeman Unified Development Code. However, some of the terms used in
this manual are not found in the AHO and are provided here:
a. Buyer Certification – Process by which it is established that a given household meets the
requirements in the AHO and this manual to qualify to purchase a home produced
through the AHO. This can be done by the City or City’s Agent.
b. City’s Agent – Refers to a qualified entity retained by the city to implement the AHO.
c. AHO Maximum Price – The maximum AHO-allowed price of Lower-Priced Homes and
Moderate-Priced Homes as determined from a schedule of AHO Maximum Prices
calculated and published annually as an update to the manual.
d. Eligible Buyer – A household meeting the AHO’s eligibility requirements to purchase a
home that is subject to the conditions of the AHO.
e. Housing Counseling Agency – An organization certified by the US Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide housing counseling and education.
f. Substantial Improvement – Any repair, reconstruction or improvement of a structure,
the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure
either:
i. Before the improvement or repair is started; or
188
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 5
ii. If the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the damage
occurred. For the purposed of this definition, substantial improvement is
considered to occur when the first construction to any wall, ceiling, floor or
other structural part of the building commences.
The term “substantial improvement” does not include any project for improvement of a
structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary or safety code
specifications which are solely necessary to protect the public health, safety and general
welfare of residents; or any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of
Historic Places or state inventory of historic places.
3. Number of Required Affordable Homes
The number of Affordable Homes that a developer/builder is required to build is a percentage
of the total number of market-rate homes proposed in the development plan, calculated in
accordance with the AHO pricing. See the ordinance or fillable form below.
4. Pricing
The annual pricing schedule of the AHO establishes two pricing categories for Affordable Homes
to include:
1. Lower-Priced Homes - Maximum price is calculate at 70% of Area Median Income for
the number of bedrooms in the home.
2. Moderate-Priced Homes – Maximum price is calculated at 90% of Area Median Income
for the number of bedrooms in the home.
The City will publish an updated pricing schedule for Affordable Homes on an annual basis
following the release of updated AMI. The pricing requirement for Lower-Priced and
Moderate-Priced homes in a development is based off of the pricing schedule that is in effect at
the time of the issuance of building permits. The City considers the following in determining
maximum sales prices:
1. Assumptions About Cost of Home Ownership –The costs of homeownership include real
estate taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage interest rates, association fees and
private mortgage insurance. These costs will be updated during the annual pricing
schedule update if community averages have changed. In addition, the Community
Development Director may make de minimis exceptions and make changes to maximum
allowed prices if prevailing mortgage interest rates have adjusted by 50 basis points or
more over the current rate schedule. The city may conduct a survey of a sample of
189
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 6
recent home sales and other data sources to determine if any changes have occurred in
housing payment cost assumptions used to determine affordable prices - such as typical
monthly costs of real estate taxes, insurance, association fees, and private mortgage
insurance. If the Director of Community Development determines any such changes
materially affect the schedule, the Director may amend the schedule.
2. Household Size for the Type/Size of Affordable Home – The City uses the AMI for
different household sizes to determine the pricing of Affordable Homes of different
sizes, as follows:
Home Size AMI Used
Studio/Zero-Bedroom One-Person Household
One-Bedroom Two-Person Household
Two-Bedroom Two-Person Household
Three-Bedroom Four-Person Household
3. The Percentage of AMI that Corresponds to the Category of Affordable Home – The
maximum price for a Lower-Priced Home is based on an AMI of 70%, adjusted to the
number of bedrooms and calculated at the present value based on 12 monthly
payments for a term of 360 months. The maximum price for a Moderate-Priced Home is
based on an AMI of 90%, adjusted to the number of bedrooms and calculated at the
present value based on 12 monthly payments for a term of 360 months.
Affordable Home Type Buyer’s Qualifying Income Income Used to Determine
Sales Price
Lower-Priced Home 65% - 80% AMI 70% AMI
Moderate-Priced Home 81% - 100% AMI 90% AMI
4. Maximum Monthly Housing Payment – is determined by dividing annual AMI by 12 and
multiplying that number by 33%.
a. Example: 70% AMI for family of four = $56,840/12 = $4,737 x 33% = maximum
monthly housing payment of $1,563
5. Formula for Determining AHO Maximum Prices - The following is a summary of the
formula used to determine the maximum effective sales price of a two-bedroom,
Lower-Priced Home priced at the 70% of AMI level. The example below uses the AMI for
Bozeman in effect as of February 1, 2016.
190
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 7
a. Multiply the annual AMI for the household size by the applicable percentage of
Area Median Income (AMI) (70 or 90%):
i. AMI for a 4 person household is $81,200 x 70% = $56,840 (70% of AMI)
b. Divide by 12 to determine monthly income at that AMI level:
i. $56,840 divided by 12 = $4,737
c. Multiply monthly income by 33% to determine maximum affordable monthly
housing payment:
i. $4,737 X 33% = $1,563
d. Subtract from the total maximum monthly housing payment estimates for
monthly payments for real estate taxes, homeowner's insurance, mortgage
insurance and homeowners association fees, in this instance a total of $466
i. $1,563 - $466 = $1,097
e. The resulting amount is the maximum principal and interest payment capacity,
from which a mortgage amount is imputed using the prevailing mortgage rate,
which is currently assumed to be 4.5% per annum.
f. The resulting amount equals the AHO Maximum Price for a Lower-Priced Home
at the 70% AMI price level. In this proforma example, the resulting price is
$216,589.
g. The above formula is used to determine the AHO Maximum Prices of Lower-
Priced Homes at the 70% AMI price level and for AHO Maximum Prices of
Moderate-Priced homes at the 90% AMI price level.
6. Applicability of Revised Pricing Schedules - The pricing of Lower-Priced and Moderate-
Priced Homes is subject to the Maximum Home Price Schedule in effect at the time of
issuance of building permit. A developer may request that a newly published Maximum
Home Price Schedule apply to a home subject to a previous Maximum Home Price
Schedule.
*See Exhibit A: AMI, Pricing, Cash-in-Lieu Rates and Fractional Fee schedule.
191
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 8
5. Timing of Delivery of Affordable Homes
The AHO requires that in any development in which more than one affordable home will be
sold, the affordable homes must be sold concurrently and in proportion to the sale of
unimproved lots or market-rate homes. The timing must be included in the Affordable Housing
Plan that is submitted. A developer may always sell affordable homes earlier than is required in
an Affordable Housing Plan.
A developer may also partner with another builder or sell lots to a builder to build affordable
homes as long as the timing coincides with the building and selling of market-rate homes.
6. Incentives
A developer must submit an Affordable Housing Plan for review and approval by the city
describing how the proposed plan will meet the requirements of the AHO and what incentives
are being requested for the plan, if any. Developers may apply for incentives at any time during
the development process in conjunction with their Affordable Housing Plan. However, applying
for incentives at the time of subdivision plan submittal can result in the greatest benefit from
incentives.
Impact Fees: Developers/builders will be responsible for paying impact fees at the time of
securing building permits. Once the home is sold and the sales price is verified with the
Affordable Housing Program staff the developer/builder may apply for impact fee
reimbursement.
* See Exhibit B: Affordable Housing Incentives Chart.
7. Minimum Design & Construction Standards
Minimum design and construction standards are intended to meet the AHO requirement to
“ensure livability and compatibility with nearby market-rate homes in the development.”
1. Mix of Bedroom Sizes – Affordable Homes must represent a mix of bedrooms per unit
as similar as possible to the mix of bedrooms in the market-rate homes in the
development. The developer may provide units with a different mix if it meets the
needs of the next qualified household.
2. Equipment and Equipment Hookups – Affordable Homes must at a minimum include a
new kitchen range and refrigerator, hookups for a clothes washer, dryer, a built-in
dishwasher, and a central heating system to meet the same standard as the market-rate
homes in the development.
192
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 9
3. Location within Neighborhood – Affordable Homes must be dispersed among the
market-rate homes in the development as evidenced on the recorded plat.
4. Design and Materials – Affordable Homes must be designed, built and landscaped
similar to market-rate homes in the development with similar quality and type of
materials, lighting, plantings and irrigation systems.
5. Other Features – Affordable Homes need features that are functionally equivalent to
market rate homes in the development. Additional features may include garages,
parking areas, carports or other green-building features. Affordable Homes must have
the same amenities as the market-rate homes in the development, including the same
access to and enjoyment of common open space and facilities.
8. Affordable Housing Plan*
*An example of a completed affordable housing plan is available upon request from staff
The applicant for any development is required to create affordable housing or for any
development where the applicant is seeking incentives must submit an Affordable Housing Plan

9. Non-Compliance With a Signed Affordable Housing Plan
If the City determines a developer/builder subject to the AHO has failed to comply with any
terms or conditions of the Affordable Housing Plan or AHO, the Affordable Housing Program
Manager will notify the developer/builder of the noncompliance in writing and order
compliance.
Notification will describe:
a. Date by which compliance must occur
b. Exact nature of the non-compliance
c. Possible sanctions for continued non-compliance
If the compliance deadline has passed and the developer/builder remains non-compliant, the
City may take those enforcement actions described in the AHO.
10. Marketing & Sales of Affordable Homes*
*An example of a marketing plan is available upon request from staff
The marketing and sales provisions of the AHO and this manual are designed to ensure that
AHO requirements are met and that Lower-Priced Homes are marketed and sold as quickly and
efficiently as possible. Developers and builders can partner with the City or the City’s Agent to
help with the marketing of the Affordable Home but agreements have to be made in advance
between all parties and documented in the Affordable Housing Plan. The steps in the
marketing process are:
1. Intent to Build – A developer/builder must provide the City of the City’s Agent with floor
plans, elevation drawings, location of the unit and anticipated construction schedule.
2. Coordination Meeting – Setup a face-to-face or over the phone meeting with the City &
the City’s Agent to review the AHO requirements.
194
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 11
3. Marketing to Buyers – The City and City’s Agent and developer will utilize the processes
that are set out for marketing.
4. Sales Contract – Before a sales contract is signed, buyer must be certified eligible to
purchase an affordable home by the City or the City’s Agent.
5. Transmit Copy of Sales Contract – Within 3 business days of after execution of the sales
contract, the developer or sales agent must transit a copy of the sales contract to the
City and the City’s Agent.
6. Pre-Closing Tasks – An appraisal must be completed by the buyer or lender and shared
with the City and City’s Agent.
The City currently uses the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) to assist with the
marketing and sales of homes through the Affordable Housing Program. After an initial
meeting with the City’s Affordable Housing Program Staff, plans can be made with the City and
City’s Agent to begin to develop a more thorough marketing plan including set dates and
requirements. The City of Bozeman’s Affordable Housing website will be a resource for any of
the homes that are available for purchase through upcoming developments.
* See exhibit J: Flyer for a for-sale affordable home can be found
11. Cash-in-Lieu Policy & Procedures
The City of Bozeman allows cash-in-lieu payments as a form of alternative compliance to meet
the requirements of a developers/builders Affordable Housing Requirements. The Cash-in-Lieu
rate is set based off of the number of bedrooms in each dwelling unit required by the
ordinance. The price will be the difference between the last two-year average median home
sales price and the lower-priced home rate based off of the total number of bedrooms. Median
195
7/16/2018 Administrative Manual Page 12
home sales prices are collected through the Gallatin Association of Realtors Big Sky Country
Multiple Listings Service data.
Cash-in-Lieu plans must be approved by City of Bozeman staff. Payment schedules are
described in the Affordable Housing Ordinance 38.380.140 and requests for alternative pricing
can be made and will be taken on a case by case basis.
*Add a section on what cash-in-lieu payments can be used for once that policy is developed.
12. Buyers – Application, Qualification and Purchase
The AHO establishes two price categories for Affordable Homes as explained in section 4. In
order to qualify, buyers have to report an income that meets the requirements for each of the
pricing categories. See the below chart for those income qualifications:
Affordable Home Type Buyer’s Qualifying Income Income Used for Sale Price
Lower-Priced Home 65%-80% AMI 70% AMI
Moderate-Priced Home 81%-100% 80% AMI
All of the requirements for buyers of Affordable Homes can be found in the AHO Sec.
38.380.150.
All verification for buyers will be conducted by the city or the city’s agent to include:
1. Income verification – Must meet income requirements for the purchase price.
2. Asset verification – Liquid assets cannot exceed $25,000 as defined in the AHO.
a. Community Development Director may waive requirement

Development Council (HRDC) of Bozeman currently runs Home-Buyers Education
classes.
2. Meet with city staff or city’s agent to determine eligibility. The method of verification

The City or City’s Agent will maintain a wait list of eligible buyers for homes through the AHO.
This list will be updated and used to send out notices of for-sale affordable homes as they
become available. It is the responsibility of the interested home-buyer to be actively engaging
in the home-buying process.
13. Recordation and Subsidy Recapture for Lower-Priced Homes
The City will secure and recapture both its cash and non-cash investments in affordable housing
with the goal of creating a revolving Affordable Housing Fund. All homes sold in the Lower-
Priced category will have one to two liens attached to them depending on the financial
assistance that is needed by the buyers. Origination of all lien documents will be completed by
the City or the City’s Agent. See Exhibits D,E,F & G. As a governmental entity, the City of
Bozeman is not required to be FHA certified for secondary mortgages. See Exhibit H.
