General Building Application - Residential Projects

In general, a permit is required for most construction projects where something is being built, repaired, replaced or remodeled. You do not need a permit for projects where only painting, wallpapering, and/or carpeting are being done.

General Building applications may take up to 10-15 business days to process. Do not pay until an application has been approved.

You may submit an application(s) using one of the following options:

  • mail in - City of Big Lake; 160 Lake St N, Big Lake, MN 55309,
  • or walk in.
