Municipal enforcement modification

Summary

The legislation amends Minnesota’s building‑code enforcement statute to require the commissioner to inspect all new residential builds and remodels, unless the municipality already provides its own inspection, has fewer than 2,500 residents, or the work is classified as a repair. It also clarifies how cities can adopt, extend, or contract out enforcement of the State Building Code and limits municipalities from imposing standards that differ from the state code. The changes affect every Minnesota municipality and the state building commissioner, aiming to ensure consistent safety oversight while giving localities defined flexibility.
