We publish counts by ZIP code and by contractor, not a list of permits by street address. The full record for one property, with every permit, its status and its inspections, is kept by the office that issued the permits; our source here is City of Saint Paul approved building permits. Ask that permit office for a property's permit history, or search its public records by address.
For a contractor you are about to hire, open their page from the lists above to see every permit they pulled across Saint Paul. Saint Paul permit statistics → · How the records work in Saint Paul →
Source: City of Saint Paul approved building permits. The window is July 2022 through June 2025. Each permit is placed by its property's ZIP code (the address on the permit, or the parcel's when the permit has none).
Counted: permits on homes for the 18 kinds of work we track (electrical, roofing, HVAC & gas, plumbing, windows & doors, remodel & repair, fence, siding, solar, drain tile & waterproofing, garage & accessory, deck, porch & steps, fireplace & stove, stucco & plaster, addition, new home, radon mitigation, demolition) where the record names a contractor. Not counted: commercial work, trades we don't read, and permits with no contractor (owner-pulled work). So this is not the city's count of every permit in 55103.
A ZIP code does not follow city or county lines; these count only permits in the City of Saint Paul. Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits.
Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can.
