Requirements
In St. Louis Park, mechanical permits are required whenever an owner or the owner's agent intends to build, alter, repair, move, or demolish a fuel-burning appliance or system. This includes replacing a furnace, boiler or furnace/air conditioner combination, direct vent fireplace, gas piping, gas stove, clothes dryer or other mechanical work. Permits are necessary for work on residential, commercial and industrial properties.

A mechanical permit is not required when work is limited to

  • Installing portable heating, cooking or clothes drying appliances
  • Replacing a minor part that does not alter the third party listing and equipment approval or make the equipment unsafe
