Roseville, MN Building Safety: Electrical Permits (2026)

Section 903.01 is short: the electrical code is an adopted section of the MSBC, and fees for electrical work are those established in the most current electrical inspection services contract approved by the city council. Section 901.07(a) adds that permits are required as specified in the MSBC, so the state code decides which electrical jobs need one, while Roseville decides what they cost.

The city fee schedule in Appendix A, section 314.054, Electrical Permit Fees, prints a 2026 Amount column. Under Residential Fees (Single Family Homes, Apartments, and Condominiums), the minimum fee is $60.00 and no refunds are available. Changes for services run $75.00 for 0 to 300 amp. The table lists a single-family dwelling or townhouse under 200 amps at $225.00 plus a $1.00 State surcharge, up to 25 circuits, with additional circuits at $12.00 each. Other printed lines include a swimming pool (up to two inspections) at $120.00 plus circuits at $12.00 each, additions, remodels and basement additions at $120.00 for up to ten circuits and two inspections, a residential panel replacement at $125.00, solar of 0 to 5 kw at $100.00, and a re-inspection fee of $60.00 in addition to others.

Other building-title rules attach. Section 901.06 collects a state surcharge on all permits for work governed by Title 9. Under section 901.11 the permit holder must notify the designated building official within five working days after the work is completed. Under section 901.12 a permit becomes invalid at the end of 180 days unless work has started and expires after work is abandoned or suspended for 180 days.
