Permits & licenses in Eagan.
Permits in Eagan are municipal. Minnesota's State Building Code is a statewide minimum written by the Department of Labor and Industry's Construction Codes and Licensing Division, but the building permit, the plan review and the inspection belong to the city — the county holds no building permit counter and the state issues none.
- Eagan's Building Inspections Division reviews plans, issues permits and performs site inspections under the Minnesota State Building Code; permit applications and inspection scheduling run through the city's online permitting portal.
- Electrical permits in Eagan are issued through the State of Minnesota, and the State Electrical Inspector performs the electrical inspections.

How it moves
Your package is reviewed against the current Eagan submission requirements before it's filed — forms, editions, scales, signatures. Then it's tracked in the queue and carried through comments. A resubmittal means the back of the line; the pre-filing review is there to help keep you out of it. The habit comes from volume: the team has processed 400+ permits annually across Maryland, D.C., and Virginia counters.
