Tips
- Review timeline governed by statute: demolition of a residential structure is filed on the general Building Permit Application (Class of Work 'Other'), i.e. handled as a building permit by Miles City's certified Building program — so MCA 50-60-106(2)(c) governs, requiring issuance of 'the relevant building permit or notice of plan disapproval within 10 working days of the contractor's submission' for a single-family-dwelling submission with the department checklist attached (range floor 1 working day for a clean submittal). The city publishes no separate demolition SLA (independently reconfirmed 2026-07-03).
- Unlike Billings, Miles City has no published demolition-specific bond or standalone ordinance (City Code Chapter 5 has no demolition article) — confirm site-cleanup and utility-disconnection expectations directly with the Building Inspector (406-874-8611) before starting work.
- Call 811 before digging, consistent with the City's Fence Permit form guidance for any excavation-adjacent work.
