How a permit works →

1. Where is the project?

Start here. Type the site address or nearest cross streets and we will show it on the map, so you can see whether it is inside the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District. You can also click the map to place the pin, or drag it.

Enter an address and choose Find on map.
2. About you

The primary contact receives all notices about this application.

3. About the project
4. How big is it?

Estimates are fine at this stage. Use acres, except excavation, which is in cubic yards.

5. What is on or near the site?

Check everything that applies. The panel on the right shows which District rules these answers may bring in.

6. Plans and documents

Upload what you have now. Staff will tell you if anything else is needed. PDF, JPG, PNG, Word, Excel, text or CAD (DWG/DXF) files, up to 10 MB each. If a file is too large, we will ask you to email it.

7. Fee and payment

Nothing is due now. After staff review your application, they will confirm the fee and send payment instructions by email.

Online payment is planned. Until it is available, you will receive payment instructions by email.
