Bozeman, Montana, is ending its permit system for urban camping, leading to the clearing of streets previously occupied by camper vehicles. The city will fully prohibit living in vehicles on city rights-of-way starting November 1, 2025, with violators facing potential fines of up to $500 per day. This follows Ordinance 2172, passed last November, which initially restricted the practice. City officials state the goal is to improve public safety and cleanliness, while connecting displaced individuals with housing resources through local non-profits.
