Bozeman rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Bozeman, placing any article or thing in a street, alley or other public place requires a street obstruction permit from the transportation and engineering department.
In Bozeman, the city code requires a street obstruction permit before anything is placed in a street, alley or other public place, with mitigation fees charged per linear foot per day for parking lanes and other areas used. Commercial vehicles, defined as vehicles designed, used or maintained primarily to carry property, may park on a street for only one hour except while continuously loading or unloading, and no vehicle may stay on a street for more than 72 consecutive hours. Alley stops are limited to 30 minutes of loading or unloading, and city motor graders start plowing residential streets once four inches of snow accumulate.
