Townsend, MT

Townsend Regulations

STRs are allowed citywide because Townsend has no ban and Montana is a property‑rights state; there are no hard caps or bans. Compliance requires moderate steps—zoning confirmation, a county fire‑protection plan/certification, standard building/fire/life‑safety adherence, possible DPHHS licensing if amenities like food or pools are offered, and state lodging tax registration. The absence of a city‑specific STR ordinance introduces some uncertainty, but processes are straightforward and not onerous.
