Permits

Permits are required before most construction-related projects may begin. If you are unsure whether a project requires a permit, or don't know which permits are required, call the Inspections Division at 763-531-5127 for assistance. As part of the permitting process, a certified building inspector from the city will inspect the project to ensure that the work has been completed correctly. Permits issued through the city include building, mechanical, plumbing, special hazard, sign, fire protection, code compliance inspection and more.

Applications

Permit applications are required for construction projects, fire related activities, and new businesses.
