City of Scandia, MN

Building permits are required for new buildings and most structural changes to existing buildings.  Building and related permits ensure that your project will be constructed according to nationally recognized standards. The standards are designed to protect homes from collapse and fire. Review of permit applications also ensures that your home meets zoning requirements, such as yard coverage, setbacks and building height.

The City of Scandia has an agreement with the City of Hugo for building inspection services.
