Wood stove permits in Edina.
Edina Building Inspections issues a mechanical permit.
Inside Edina, permits come from the city’s Building Inspections Division, not Hennepin County. The city says a mechanical permit is required to install, alter, repair or extend manufactured gas or wood fireplaces and stoves, and manufactured chimney and venting systems. Permits go to homeowners who homestead the property or state-licensed contractors, but mechanical and plumbing permits are issued only to contractors licensed by the City of Edina when the owner does not live in the home. Applications and plan review are electronic through ePermits and ProjectDox. Call 952-826-0372 to confirm what your stove or insert needs.
Edina Building InspectionsCountry Club District homes need heritage review first.
The Edina Country Club District covers about 555 homes between Minnehaha Creek, Sunnyside Road, Arden Avenue and West 50th Street. Its plan of treatment requires a certificate of appropriateness (COA) for significant structural changes to street-facing facades, as well as demolition and new construction. Homes built from 1924 to 1944 are treated as heritage preservation resources. An insert in an existing fireplace is interior work, but a new chimney, chase or visible flue on the street side may need review.
Edina Country Club DistrictChimneys are a character-defining feature.
The Country Club District plan of treatment lists chimneys, roof shapes and roof details among character-defining features, and says a COA is required before a building permit for removing, modifying or adding to those features on street-facing facades. Work affecting only the interior is exempt. A pre-application meeting with city staff is required before a COA submittal, and a COA is valid for one year. Plan the stove’s venting route with this in mind.
Edina Country Club District plan of treatment (DOCX)Each backyard fire needs a permit and a call.
Edina requires a recreational fire permit, applied for by the resident through Community Connect and valid for the calendar year, and a call to the Recreational Fire Hotline at 952-826-0398 before starting a fire. Fires must be in a ring, fireplace or manufactured wood-burning appliance, 15 feet from structures and 10 feet from property lines, no bigger than 3 feet across and 2 feet high, and are not allowed after 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday.

What to ask a Edina installer.
- Do you hold an Edina mechanical contractor license, and will you pull the mechanical permit through ePermits?
- Will the flue, chase or cap be visible from the street, and if I’m in the Country Club District, will you supply elevations for the COA?
- Is this an insert in my existing fireplace or a new chimney run, and what inspections will Edina require before the walls are closed?
Compare quotes on the same scope.

Edina wood stove installation FAQs.
Who can pull a wood stove permit in Edina?
Edina issues permits to homeowners who homestead the property and to state-licensed contractors, but for mechanical work, which includes wood fireplaces and stoves and their chimneys, the permit goes only to a contractor licensed by the City of Edina when the owner does not live in the home. Landlords should hire an Edina-licensed mechanical contractor.
Does the Country Club District affect a wood stove?
It can. The plan of treatment lists chimneys as character-defining and requires a certificate of appropriateness before a building permit for changes to them on street-facing facades. Interior-only work is exempt, so an insert in an existing fireplace is less likely to need review than a new chimney. A pre-application meeting with planning staff is required before any COA.
Are backyard fires restricted in Edina?
Yes. Edina requires a free annual recreational fire permit and a call to the fire hotline at 952-826-0398 before each fire. Fires must be in a ring, fireplace or manufactured wood-burning appliance, 15 feet from structures, with no in-ground pits. The fire department or DNR can restrict fires during high fire danger.
