Deer Lodge County MT Homes for Sale

Deer Lodge County and Anaconda share one government. Anaconda-Deer Lodge County is a consolidated city-county, so the town and the rest of the county’s 737 square miles answer to the same commission, planning department and building inspector at the courthouse on Main Street in Anaconda. Roughly 9,700 people live in the county (a July 2025 Census estimate, up from 9,421 at the 2020 count).

Most of the housing is old. The Census puts the median year built at 1954, against 1991 in Ravalli County and 1985 in Missoula County. Of 5,540 housing units, 4,294 are single-family houses on their own lot, and 295 are mobile homes. The median value of owner-occupied homes is $231,700 for 2020 to 2024, about half the figures for Missoula County and Ravalli County. That is a five-year survey estimate, so use current listings and recent sales for real pricing.

Check the age of the house first

A 1954 median means roof, wiring, heating, insulation and foundation are the first questions on a typical showing, well ahead of finishes. Zoning runs through development districts. The ADLC Planning Map shows the district for an address, and the regulations for each district are in the county’s Development Permit System. Building, demolition and business license applications all go through the planning department.
