For remodeling, alterations, or repairs, the City requires plans showing dimensions of areas included in project (scale: 1/4 inch = 1 foot).
For new construction or additions, the City requires:
- plans showing window sizes, room sizes, ceiling heights, doors, exits, and stairways (1/4 inch = 1 foot)
- survey certificate signed by a Minnesota licensed surveyor (building must be shown on survey)
Some projects require permits for tree preservation and/or stormwater management. You must obtain those permits before the City will issue a Building Permit.
