Construction Permits (Building Permits)
Many projects require more than one permit i.e. Building Permit and a Zoning Permit. To determine which permits you need for your project, call (218) 927-2527 or email permits@ci.aitkin.mn.us.
Building Permit fees are based upon the valuation of the job including labor and materials. Residential Maintenance Permit fees are a set amount. Residential Maintenance Permits are used for roofs, windows, etc.
A building permit is required:
- For all work not specifically exempt from the building code. This applies to residents, contractors, and commercial owners. Even if you are a homeowner, you need a permit to work on your own home. For a listing of work that is exempt from permit see "When are Permits Required"
