Building Permit - Land Disturbance Permit Application
A Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) is required when making application for a building permit. Either property owners or contractors can make application for an LDP. The permit fee is based on a sliding fee scale in relationship to the scope of the project. An LDP is required for all land disturbing activities affecting greater than 5000 square feet. The permit covers such areas as perimeter protection, inlet protection, stabilization, street sweeping, and site maintenance. Since an LDP is issued in conjunction with the City's building permit, there are typically no project delays due to the permitting process. For more information call 507-387-8534 or 507-380-0833.
