Mendota Heights, MN

Building/Permitting Department

How permitting works in Minnesota

Minnesota cities act as the primary enforcers of the state building code. If a city has an established building department, it handles all permits; if not, the city's role is bypassed, and the developer must seek a permit directly from the state's Department of Labor and Industry.

State (DLI) permits if local department is absent.
