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.
You must register your commercial building annually and when the owner changes. The registration is often called "FCOM," which is short for "fire commercial."
Registering your commercial building helps us:
Minneapolis uses one registration form for all types of commercial buildings.
Our teams will review. You can expect to hear from us in 30 business days.
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 |
