Notice Posting
Notice Posting Procedure
Notice is required for certain projects in order for citizens to participate in decision making which affects their
interests and provides opportunity to receive information pertinent to an application that would not otherwise
be available to the decision maker. The applicant is responsible for posting on the project per the requirements
of the Bozeman Municipal Code BMC 38.730
Posting on the Site
The notice is posted via a notice sign board that is provided by the City. Multiple notice boards may be
provided depending on the project size and location, which is determined by the project planner. Please follow
the directions below for posting the project notice boards on site.
1) When the project is ready to be noticed, the City will prepare and provide the notice board(s) to be
picked up by the applicant/representative at the Community Development office at 20 E. Olive Street.
a) You will receive an email when the board is ready to be picked up, and guidance on where to post
it.
b) The project planner will provide all required elements of the notice to the applicant no less than
three days before the date the notice must be posted.
2) The notice board(s) must be posted on the site by the end of business hours on the date that is
identified by the project planner.
3) The applicant is responsible for affixing the notice board(s) to a stake, fence, exterior of building, or
window on the primary facade. The notice board(s) must be at an adequate height to be visible around
any barriers and should be placed on the property (not in the public right-of-way) where it is accessible
to pedestrians to view without trespassing. Do not attach the board to a utility pole or any other
object that is not located on the property or owned by the property owner.
4) The applicant/representative must verify the posting date and take two pictures of the notice
board(s), from different perspectives, on the site. The Notice Posting Declaration, on the following
page, must be filled out and provided to the project planner within three days of the posting. City Staff
will verify the notice location during the project site visit(s).
5) The notice board(s) must be removed and returned to the Community Development office no sooner
than the day after the end of the notice period.
a) If at any time during the required noticing period, it is observed that the notice has been altered
or removed without City approval, the applicant may be required to pay a re-noticing fee to post
a new notice with a re-set comment period.
6) Please update your project schedule to include sign retrieval.
