Building Inspections & Permits
Building Official
The City of Mounds View Building Official is responsible for administrating the Minnesota Building Code. The State Building codes are adopted to maintain the safety of structures surrounding us in our everyday lives; our homes, schools, offices, stores, restaurants, recreational facilities, etc., by providing very important safeguards and standards to protect us from disasters due to fire, structural failure, deterioration, weather, and natural disasters- to name just a few.
The Community Development Department is also responsible for making sure any contractors operating within the City are properly licensed and insured. See the MN Dept of Labor’s Tips for Hiring a Contractor web page.
