Why filed values run low or high

  • The 10 busiest firms usually file $16,000; the 1,125 firms with fewer than 10 permits usually file $12,500.
  • Firms working on the most expensive third of homes (usual home value $394,200 and up) usually file $15,069, against $13,902 for the least expensive third.
  • One permit type covers small and large jobs: 1 in 10 roofing permits is filed under $5,600 and 1 in 10 over $26,900, 5 times as much.
  • 99.9% of the 18,620 permits carry a value; the 21 without one are left out of every figure here.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Minneapolis construction permits (CCS). The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.

Common questions

  • How many quotes should I get for a roofing job in Minneapolis?At least three. In the permit record the middle half of Minneapolis roofing firms usually file between $9,660 and $16,057 a job, so two ordinary firms can sit 1.7 times apart and both be normal for Minneapolis. A third quote shows which one is the outlier. Filed values are what contractors wrote on permits, not quotes, so use them to judge the spread, not to price your own job.
  • What range is normal for roofing jobs in Minneapolis?Half of permits were filed between $8,600 and $18,600; 8 in 10 between $5,600 and $26,900. These are approximate, pooled from each firm's own spread.
  • How much do roofers charge in Minneapolis?The usual roofing job is filed at $13,000; the middle half of firms usually file between $9,660 and $16,057. The 10 firms with the most permits in the last 12 months usually file $16,000, more than the usual. See every firm's usual job →
  • Why is this different from the per-square-foot prices I see online?Online prices are quoted per square foot. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many square feet plus the work around them, and the Minneapolis file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $13,000 into a price per square foot.
  • Do bigger houses get bigger bills?In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $15,069, the lower third $13,902. That is firms, not single jobs.
  • Where does this data come from?City of Minneapolis construction permits (CCS), read October 2026. How the records work in Minneapolis →
