Applicants should confirm bonding/insurance requirements directly with the Building Department at (406) 676-4231.

Ronan, Montana has adopted: Montana has a mandatory statewide building code administered by the Montana Department of Labor & Industry (DLI) Building Codes Bureau, amended by the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) Title 24, Chapter 301. Cities, counties, and towns may become 'certified' to locally administer permitting and inspection for all or part of the code; non-certified trades in a partially-certified jurisdiction fall under direct state administration by the DLI Building Codes Bureau. Source: Montana DLI Building Codes Bureau, Certified City, County and Town Programs (bsd.dli.mt.gov/building-codes-permits).; Ronan is a Montana DLI-certified jurisdiction for Building (B) ONLY within city limits; certified building official on file with DLI: Dan Miller, (406) 676-4231. Verified directly against the DLI Building Codes Bureau's 'Montana Certified Local Government Program' roster PDF, updated 04/22/2026 (fetched and read directly, not via a mirror): 'Ronan | B | Dan Miller | 676-4231 | City Limits'. Source: https://bsd.dli.mt.gov/_docs/building-codes-permits/certified-city.pdf; The City of Ronan's own published Building Department forms reference the 2012 International Building Code (IBC) and 2012 International Residential Code (IRC), specifically Section 105.2 (IBC) / R105.2 (IRC) 'Work exempt from permit' provisions — a locally-adopted 2012-cycle edition, not the 2021-cycle state-adopted edition used by non-certified/directly-state-administered jurisdictions.

Ronan's own published exemption-list forms cite the 2012 IBC/IRC by name rather than the current 2021-cycle editions; this discrepancy is reported as found rather than assumed away — the City's posted permit-exemption documents have not been confirmed updated to the current statewide cycle as of this review.
