Guidelines for Home Improvement Projects
When considering a home improvement project, your preliminary planning should include calling City Hall. That way you have complete information about how long it takes to obtain any required permits, inspections, or variances before you hire and schedule contractors to begin the actual work. Also, visit the Inspection Department to review your street file for helpful information.
The following handouts explain general requirements for various building projects. If you find you need additional information, or if your project isn't listed here, contact the Inspections Department (763-593-8090) for more information.
