City Building & Permits
The City of Arden Hills has adopted the 2015 Minnesota State Building Code. Minimum standards have been established to provide a level of safety and performance for all structures. Building inspection requirements (PDF) are checked during inspections to make sure these minimum standards are being met.
Most projects will require a permit through the city before starting construction; however some projects are exempt (PDF).
