Project Re:Code
Opens a New Window.
City of Billings & Yellowstone County
First major overhaul of city and county zoning regulations in 45 years
This webpage is intended to be a place where you can find out current and timely information on the work of the steering committee, locate research and resource materials, and connect with committee members and staff working on Project ReCode.
Hello Project ReCode contributors, Steering Committee and Working Group members,
The City Council and Board of County Commissioners are receiving the final code for adoption and will be conducting work sessions and public hearings in the next few weeks.
I appreciate, and I am sure the City Council and County Commissioners appreciate, all of the hard work you have done over the last three + years to help us improve the codes for the City & County.
The decision on adoption of the codes is up to these elected officials.
If you want to listen in or participate during the adoption hearings, here is your chance to join in!

City of Billings Pattern Guide Webpage Published!
Planning Division announces major project milestone and educational webpage.
The new City of Billings Pattern Guide is designed to provide guidance to homeowners, home builders, and small business owners looking to invest in the First Neighborhoods of Billings.
The webpages feature detailed information on Billings’ First Neighborhoods – South Side, North Park, Pioneer Park and Central Terry. The First Neighborhoods of Billings are close-in residential areas around Downtown. Three additional neighborhood pages will be coming forward in the near future – West Central, Heights and West Shiloh.
The authors and designers, Billings Metro Vista members Claire Yang and Jacob Cote, crunched through mountains of info and data to craft this guide and educational resource for all Billings residents.
