Will the new zoning lower my home value?

No. The goal of the new zoning code is to make housing more available and stable—not to reduce the value of existing homes. Here’s what we’re working toward:

• Making it easier to build new homes that people can afford, so more Missoulians can find a place to live.
• Slowing down extreme price increases that make housing out of reach for many families.
• Supporting steady, healthy growth—the kind that helps property values rise at a sustainable rate, instead of spiking quickly and pushing people out.

In short, the new zoning is about building a more balanced housing market—one that keeps Missoula affordable while protecting long-term neighborhood stability.
