Building Inspections
 The Building Inspections Department is responsible for plan review,
permitting and inspection of all new construction within the City. Our
staff consists of the Building Official, four inspectors and two support
staff. All our staff have multiple years of experience in the construction
industry and code enforcement.
The Edina City Code adopts the Minnesota State
Building Code, which in turn adopts the International Building Code,
International Residential Code and other codes and standards relating to
building construction.
Steve Kirchman
Chief Building Official
The purpose of the code is to provide minimum
standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property and public welfare
by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of
materials, use and occupancy, location and maintenance of all buildings
and structures within the City.
The provisions of the code apply to the construction,
alteration, moving, demolition, repair, maintenance and use of any
building or structure within the City.
We encourage you to call with any questions about
construction projects being considered or already in progress. Our general
telephone number is 952-826 0372. Support staff will route calls to the
appropriate individuals. Because inspection staff spends most time out of
City Hall, its more effective to call and set up appointments with
inspectors before coming in.
