Valet parking regulation and fees in downtown Bozeman
Summary
Bozeman's code doesn't currently authorize valet services using public curb space, but two exist and three more businesses want them. The board is shaping an ordinance, permit system, and fee — likely several thousand dollars a year per space — that would apply to new and possibly existing valet operations.

Impact analysis
A new annual fee — board discussion centered on roughly $4,000–$5,000 per space — would be paid by valet-operating businesses, not residents.
Downtown businesses like hotels and restaurants that want valet service, plus drivers who get safer, more organized curb access.
Drivers lose general-use on-street parking spaces to exclusive valet use.
