DLI Launches New Online Code Lookup Tool

Cities may want to check out their own information in the Local Code Lookup to verify that it is accurate.
(Published Jun 13, 2012)

The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) has built a one-stop “Local Code Lookup” to help contractors and homeowners find local code requirements and code inspectors in one place.

The online search tool is designed to help users find out which code authority has local jurisdiction for permits, plan review, and inspection in the areas of boilers, building codes, electrical, elevators, high-pressure piping, plumbing, and other Minnesota construction codes and licensing disciplines.

The Local Code Lookup provides such information as whether the local jurisdiction has its own inspectors, has adopted the state building code, or uses local electrical fees. Names and phone numbers of inspectors are also available.

Users can choose jurisdiction directory information for a specific city, township, or county. Then they can view the displayed contact information for their local code official or code inspector.

Cities may want to check out their own information in the Local Code Lookup to verify that it is accurate.

The Local Code Lookup is the latest of several online tools DLI has for the construction trades. Others include the DLI ReNew licensing system that allows individuals to apply for or renew a license, the eTRAKiT online permit system and the License Lookup application that allows users to search for personal and business licenses issued by DLI.
