Owners and counties can end zoning districts

The law lets property owners start a vote to end a county zoning district. A written petition must include signatures and addresses from at least 20% of owners in the district. The county clerk marks the date received and must verify the signatures within 60 days. If valid, the county commissioners put the question to registered voters who live in the district. If the vote fails, owners must wait 3 years before trying again. Commissioners can also end a district by resolution after notice and a public hearing, but only if the county follows the Montana Land Use Planning Act process or has created a larger zoning district that covers the same land.
