The City of Preston requires building permits for many construction activities, including but not limited to:

• Building or adding to a garage
• Decks
• Garden/utility sheds
• House/building additions
  (any construction that adds to the footprint of the structure)
• Fences/retaining walls

Please call City Hall (507) 765-2153 to check if your project requires a building permit.

The City of Preston has adopted a Floodplain Ordinance as part of a program that makes FEMA flood insurance available to our residents. In order to minimize future flood losses, the floodplain ordinance closely regulates construction activities in the floodplain. It is strongly suggested that property owners contact city hall before starting any project in the floodplain.

It is the responsibility of the homeowner to contact City Hall and determine whether a building permit is required for work to be done. Some P&Z questions (setbacks, permitted uses, etc.) may be easily answered by referring to the 'Land Use' section of the Preston Code.
