Building Permits & Inspections

The City of Vadnais Heights has adopted the Minnesota State Building Code. Minimum standards have been established to provide a level of safety and performance for all structures. Construction projects are inspected to help make sure that these minimum standards are being met. Most projects will require a permit through the City before starting construction, as well as a contractor license application. 

Submit a Permit


Email applications to permits@cityvadnaisheights.com or mail or drop off to City Hall. An after-hours drop box is located in the entrance driveway off County Road E (silver mailbox next to the blue USPS box).
