Building Permits & Rental Inspections

The Building Office oversees all new construction and remodeling projects in the City of Bemidji. Most projects require a building permit and you should contact the Building Office located on the lower level of City Hall prior to construction/remodeling. Please refer to the City Code, Chapter 10 for construction licensing, permits and regulations.

Each month the City of Bemidji Building Department generates two reports. The first is a Construction Report which summarizes all permits issued in the current month. The second report is the Rental Inspection Report which provides a list of all rentals inspected in the current month and status of that rental. These reports are available by contacting the Building Office.

The Building Office is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all city-owned buildings. They provide construction administration and design for a variety of building repair and rehabilitation projects throughout the year. Building Permit applications are available by calling the Building Department or stopping in.
