A building permit is required to construct or alter, in respect to height or area, any building. Fees are determined by the project being completed and are collected when a building permit is obtained at the Planning and Zoning Office.
Building permits are needed for:
- New Construction (dwellings, barns, silos, grain bins, machine sheds, garages, and other structures)
- Expansion or addition to existing structure
- Accessory Structures (porch, deck, gazebo, pool, tool shed)
- Construction, alteration, and movement of buildings
Building permits are not needed for:
- Non-Structural (reshingling, residing, window replacement, internal remodeling)
All building permits must meet setback and minimum lot size requirements. In addition, all applications for a building permit must submit either a Certificate of Compliance or valid Inspection Form for their septic system before the application can be approved. This also includes proof that the system has been maintained (pumped) within the last 3 years.
Contact Planning & Zoning at (507) 526-2388 for more information or go to www.guidetoruralliving.com
Please call to make an appointment for a building permit application if you do not have a Certificate of Compliance AND Pumping Form, or are unsure if you meet current setback and lot size requirements.
