Demolition
Overview
The City of Maplewood requires a demolition permit for the demolition or removal of a primary structure or a garage.

If the structure is served by either a septic system or is connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system, a utility disconnect permit and site grading permit are required before the city will issue a demolition permit. In addition, the municipal water utility must give approval before the city will issue a demolition permit.

A licensed sewer and water contractor must obtain a sanitary sewer service capping or repair permit and a licensed grading contractor must obtain a grading permit. The Maplewood Engineering Division, at the Public Works building - 1902 County Road B East, issues these permits. The Engineering Division can be reached at (651) 249-2400.

The city requires compliance with the city right-of-way ordinance.

Please note: The Maplewood demo permit is separate to the required 10-day notification to MPCA & Ramsey County.
