2023 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. Numbers recorded for multi-family units, townhouses and duplexes represent the actual number of living units created
within the housing projects. 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.

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.

CITY OF KALISPELL LAND SUBDIVISION ACTIVITY
Final Subdivision Plats
The purpose of the final plat is to review the proposed subdivision for proper final engineering and subdivision design, to provide for dedication of lands required for public use, for the construction of public improvements, and for conformance with the preliminary plat. The final plat incorporates all modifications required in its preliminary plat review. Once a subdivision is final platted all of the
associated lots can be sold and city services are available to the lot. Figure 7 Final Plats, City of Kalispell 2013-2023 (includes all types of lots including roads and open space)
