Building Safety Division

Inspecting new construction at various stages of completion is one of the Building Division's jobs.

The City of Great Falls provides staff and resources necessary to provide for the health, safety and welfare of our community by ensuring buildings are constructed or repaired in compliance with codes adopted by the City of Great Falls and the State of Montana.

The department has a building official and five inspection personnel. All are nationally certified in their appropriate fields. The staff is committed to the quality development of Great Falls; to protecting the lives of our citizens; and to ensuring the safety and performance of the built environment by enforcing the City’s building codes.
