2022 CONSTRUCTION, LAND SUBDIVISION AND ANNEXATION REPORT CITY OF KALISPELL
This report provides information on new housing construction, major commercial construction,
divisions of land and annexations for the City of Kalispell. Construction activity data is collected from building permits issued by the City of Kalispell Building Department. Residential construction types are referred to as single-family residence (SFR), duplex (DUP), townhouse (TH), multi-family unit (MFU), and accessory dwelling units (ADU). For the
purpose of this report, townhouse numbers are combined with the duplex category.

The MH category includes all classes of manufactured homes including double wide and modular homes. Senior apartment complexes and assisted living units are included in the multi-family category and numbers also represent the actual number of units within the project.
This report also includes a summary of major commercial construction projects for which building permits were issued. Kalispell Building Permit Summary: The City of Kalispell issues permits for most construction projects in the city. The total number of
permits includes all types of construction including new, remodels and additions. The City of Kalispell issued 245 building permits during 2022. Figure 1

The majority of new housing has transitioned from single-family homes to multi-family homes. Since
2000, there has been increased demand for townhouse, duplex and multi-family housing, which tend to be more affordable than detached single-family housing. Because multi-family projects are usually constructed over a longer period of time, it is more feasible to look at annual averages for this type of housing over a five year period.
