Building Division
The purpose of the Building
Division is to help ensure all your construction projects meet the
requirements of both the Minnesota State Building Code and the City
Zoning regulations.
There are currently two staff members within
the Building Division, the Building Official and a Permit Technician. It
is the responsibility of this Division of the Community Development
Department to oversee the construction, reconstruction, alteration, and
repair of all residential and commercial buildings and other structures
to which the Building Code is applicable.
Building permits are
required to construct, add, alter, remove, demolish, or repair a
structure. The city also requires building permits for maintenance items
such as roofing, siding and/or window replacements. A permit ensures
proper services are provided to safeguard life, health, property and
public welfare. If work is done improperly, such work can become unsafe
for homeowners and their families, as well as devalue their home.
Permit
applications along with informational handouts are available both on
line and at city hall. If you have questions regarding permits, the
permit process or you already have a permit and need to schedule an
inspection, please call (763) 433-9850.
