Roseville, MN Public Conduct: Outdoor Smoking Restrictions (2026)

Chapter 510 of the Roseville City Code applies outdoors on city-owned ground, not citywide. Section 510.01(a) defines specified city properties as all city parks, parking lots adjacent to city parks, and trails within city parks, and on the main city campus. The campus list names city hall, the fire station, the maintenance facility, the skating center and oval and adjacent parking lots, and the license center strip mall and adjacent parking lot. That reach includes the Roseville Oval area and park trails, but the text controls: only the listed properties are covered.

The prohibition in subsection (b) is broad about the product. No person shall smoke or vape any product, including tobacco and tobacco-related products, cannabis flower, cannabis products, and hemp-derived consumer products, or use any tobacco related or electronic delivery devices at a specified city property. The terms tobacco, tobacco-related device and electronic delivery device take their definitions from Minn. Stat. § 609.685. Subsection (a)(2) excludes a private residence including its curtilage or yard, private property not generally accessible by the public, and licensed on-site consumption premises, which keeps the rule off private patios and yards.

Chapter 510 does not name a separate enforcing officer. The violation is classified as a petty misdemeanor and is punishable in accordance with Chapter 102, whose § 102.01(b) caps the sentence at a fine of not more than $300.00 or any different amounts adopted by statute. The city's tobacco licensing chapter also bars smoking inside the indoor area of any retail establishment licensed under that chapter, and Section 317.08(g) bars smoking and vaping at temporary cannabis events, so the city rules differ by location rather than applying a single citywide ban.
