Which addresses this covers
The City of Edina permits work inside Edina only. Minneapolis, Bloomington, Richfield and the other Hennepin County cities run their own permit offices. Our pages count home permits; commercial, institutional and apartment (3+ unit) permits, signs, driveways and grading are left out.
| Tool | Search by | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Search for Property Permit History (LOGIS) | Property | Permits on the property; also fees and inspection scheduling |
| Permit Finder table (City GIS) | Any field, including PID | Work type, sub-type, description, issued, final, cancelled and dead dates, valuation; our source |
| Edina Docs lot surveys | PID | Lot surveys, not permits |
How to look up the permits on an Edina address
- Open Search for Property Permit History from the City's Building Permits & Resources page.
- Find the property. Have the Hennepin County property ID (PID) ready in case the address alone does not match; the City's own permit table is keyed by PID.
- Open each permit. Edina files a reroof, siding, a furnace, a water heater and a remodel as separate permits.
- Look for a final date on each one (see below).
- For a permit you expected but cannot find, ask Edina Building Inspections, or send a records request.
What the dates mean
The City's permit table has no status column. A permit's state comes from which date is filled in, and we count it the same way.
| Date filled in | What it means | How we count it |
|---|---|---|
| Final date | Final inspection passed | Finished |
| Issued date only | Issued, no final yet | Open |
| Dead date | Lapsed before a final | Expired |
| Cancelled date | Cancelled or refunded | Left out |
Of the home permits issued October 2024 to September 2025, 72.4% had a final date and 27.6% were still open by our 19 October 2026 snapshot; almost none carried a dead date. An open permit in Edina is common, but it is the thing to settle before the last payment.
When the record is not online
The City Clerk takes requests through the Public Data Request form. The City's records page says it aims to respond within 10 days and most data is emailed; inspecting data is free by appointment, copies of 100 or fewer one-sided pages are 25 cents a page, and staff time is "$44 charged in ¼ hour increments or $5 minimum". The City Clerk Office is at 4801 W. 50th St., 952-927-8861 (read 24 October 2026).
What our Edina pages add
The Edina page adds the City's home permits up. Counts are permits issued October 2024 to September 2026; finished share and days are for permits issued October 2024 to September 2025.
| Kind of work | Permits (Oct 2024–Sep 2026) | Finished (Oct 2024–Sep 2025 permits) | Usual days to final |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plumbing | 3,939 | 69.6% | 23 |
| HVAC | 2,872 | 75.9% | 30 |
| Remodels and repairs | 2,612 | 71.0% | 85 |
| Roofing | 689 | 79.2% | 41 |
| New homes | 138 | — | — |
| Demolition | 117 | — | — |
| Additions | 102 | — | — |
Kinds with fewer than 100 permits issued October 2024 to September 2025 have no finished share or days. ZIP code 55436 had the most permits, 3,331 of 11,087, October 2024 to September 2026. The permit statistics page has year and month counts, how long permits take has the days by kind, permits by ZIP code splits them by area and browse permits lists the rows. To check a contractor, see How to check a contractor's license in Minnesota.
What this does not tell you
The City's table names no contractor, so we cannot say who did the work, and it has no electrical permits. Furnace, air conditioner and water heater permits share one broad City type; we sort them into HVAC and plumbing by their description. The value is the valuation on the permit, not the final cost.
How we know this
The search link is from the City of Edina's Building Permits & Resources page, and the records process and fees are quoted from its Find or Request Public Records page, both read 24 October 2026. Our counts are the City's Permit Finder (PIMS Permits) table, read 19 October 2026: home permits issued October 2024 to September 2026.
Numbers come from public permit records in 57 cities, data through October 19, 2026. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can.
Questions
- How do I find out if a permit was pulled on my house in Edina?
Use Search for Property Permit History, linked from the City of Edina's Building Permits & Resources page (epermits.logis.org). Look up the property and open each permit on it. If an older record is missing, send the City's Public Data Request form.
- How long does an Edina permit take to final?
For home permits issued October 2024 to September 2025, the usual one reached a final in 43 days. Plumbing took 23 days, HVAC 30, roofing 41 and remodels and repairs 85.
- Are Edina electrical permits in the City's search?
The City's published permit table has no electrical permits, so our 11,087 Edina permits from October 2024 to September 2026 have none. Ask Edina Building Inspections where an electrical permit for your address is filed.
- How much does it cost to get Edina permit records?
Inspecting public data is free, by appointment. The City Clerk charges 25 cents a one-sided page for 100 or fewer paper copies, and $44 an hour in quarter-hour steps for staff time where no statute sets the fee (read 24 October 2026).
- Can I search Edina permits by contractor?
The City's published permit table has no contractor or applicant column, so we do not list firms for Edina. Ask the contractor for the permit number and check it against the property history.
