A commercial building is defined by City ordinance as:
In buildings that are used for multiple purposes, the commercial building registration is only for the parts that are not used for living.

Registering your commercial building helps us:
Minneapolis uses one registration form for all types of commercial buildings.
You can register one of two ways:
Our teams will review. We'll get back to you once we've processed the registration.
The fee helps cover the cost of fire inspections we provide to keep buildings safe. The fee is:
| Commercial size in square feet | 2025 fee |
|---|---|
| 0 - 5,000 | $58 |
| 5,001 - 10,000 | $105 |
| 10,001 - 100,000 | $315 |
| 100,001 - 250,000 | $525 |
| 250,001 - 1,000,000 | $840 |
