Hiring someone here?

The permit file can't tell you who does good work. Ask for the contractor's license number and look it up at the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, then ask the city whether they pulled the permit for your job.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Edina Permit Finder, PIMS Permits table (ArcGIS Building/Permit_Finder FeatureServer layer 5), read 19 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.

Permits the City of Edina issues for houses, townhouses and two-family homes inside the city: building, remodel, reroof, siding, deck and addition permits, mechanical and plumbing permits, home sewer and water work, and solar.

  • The city's permit table names no contractor, so there are no contractor lists, rankings or firm pages for Edina.
  • The table has no electrical permits, so there are no electrical counts here.
  • The table has no status column. A permit with a final date counts as finished, one with a dead date as expired and one with a cancelled date is left out; all others are open.
  • The city files most furnace, air conditioner, water heater, softener and gas piping permits under one broad residential type. We sort them into HVAC and plumbing by their work description; a permit that names both counts under the trade it names first.
  • The value is the valuation on the permit. The ZIP code comes from the Metropolitan Council's 2025 parcel points for the permit's parcel.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
