Landscaping Permits

updated: Friday, December 02, 2011

Fences: If you're planning on building a fence, visit the Inspections Department in City Hall to complete a permit application. Please bring a site plan or property survey with you. A fence permit is $15 and includes a plan review to help reduce the likelihood of expensive, after-the-fact enforcement that occurs when fence installation inadvertently violates zoning requirements. For more information, contact Assistant Zoning Administrator Gary Morrison at (952) 924-2592 or gmorrison@stlouispark.org.

Irrigation systems: Either a licensed plumber or the homeowner/occupant may do the installation. Once installation is complete, either the contractor or the homeowner should call for an inspection to make sure the municipal water tie-in and backflow preventers were properly installed. Permits are required if you're connecting an underground lawn irrigation system to your building's water supply. Plumbing permits are needed for the piping connection because improper installation can allow water contaminated by fertilizer or pesticide to flow back into your home or our municipal drinking water supply. For more information, contact the Inspections Department at (952) 924-2588 or permits@stlouispark.org.
