Code Regulations & Fees

The Council will be spending time at future meetings and workshops conducting a systematic review and update of all 14 Chapters (Titles) of the Mounds View City Code which provide regulation and direction on everything from business licensing to zoning to Boards and Commissions. 

All changes, even the smallest technical amendments must be adopted via the ordinance process which requires a first reading at council and then a minimum of two weeks followed by a second reading at a council meeting.  Finally, a summary of the ordinance must be published in the official city newspaper and does not become effective until 30 days after that publication is out.  This provides residents and business owners a minimum of two more council meetings after approval along with the two meetings during the approval process to provide input and feedback.

All proposed changes will be available via the web page in the council packet agenda items which are posted on our web page typically the Friday before the council meetings. 

Upon completion of the update, the city will then codify or insert the amendments/changes into the code and republish the amended code.  During this process, we ask residents and business owners to engage in the process by checking the web page/council agendas; attend meetings and provide feedback if so inclined, or email/write any concerns you may have – all of which will be shared with council.

Any recently adopted ordinances will be included in the Download Documents section below. A copy of any proposed ordinances will be posted in the Download Documents section at the bottom of this page if and when any new ordinance is being considered.
