59833 Florence MT Homes for Sale

The commute is the number to look at first in 59833. Among workers who live in the ZIP, about 58 percent report 30 minutes or more getting to work, according to Census estimates for 2020 to 2024, and the most common bands are 25 to 29 and 30 to 34 minutes. That tracks with the map: Florence sits in the northern half of the Bitterroot Valley, about 20 miles south of Missoula and 27 miles north of Hamilton, on US 93.

Florence has no town government. Like Victor and Corvallis, it is an unincorporated community in Ravalli County, so the county handles planning, septic permits and floodplain questions. The ZIP code is bigger than the community, at about 153 square miles with some 6,300 people.

Before you commit to a parcel

Because Florence sits in unincorporated Ravalli County, a lot of the due diligence is county work. Zoning in the county applies only inside citizen-initiated zoning districts, so look up the address on the county map. A new dwelling needs a septic permit before construction, a nondegradation analysis and a soil test hole 8 to 12 feet deep, and any system within 300 feet of a delineated floodplain needs a floodplain determination first. The Bitterroot River runs through this part of the valley, so this one matters.
