Expedited Review 


   
​Subdivisions creating no more than two (2) lots that satisfy all five criteria may qualify for expedited review.
​
​The expedited review process allows a subdivider to go directly to final plat review after a ​Pre-application/concept meeting has been completed. Expedited subdivisions are still reviewed for compliance with local and state subdivision regulations and an SIA is required for them.
​
​Please note also that right-of-way dedication may be required with subdivisions qualifying for expedited review.

​2.Legal and physical access to all lots is provided;

​ 4.The plat has been approved by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality or County Environmental Health whenever approval is required, or the plat has been approved by the City of Billings Public Works Department for water, sanitary sewer and storm water facilities
