I heard there was a Community Survey, that went out, but I didn't get it!

Correct, in December 2024, residents within the City of Finlayson were sent a survey. You may not have received it if you live outside city limits, or if you do not own a business within city limits. To participate in the survey, you can contact Penny Simonson with the East Central Regional Development Commission at [email protected] or via phone at (320) 679-4065 x23.

I need to build a new or modify an existing structure, what do I do?

That's exciting! Within city limits, you are required to obtain a building permit. The first step is to complete the application and submit it to City Hall with any supporting documentation. The Planning & Zoning Committee will enlist the Zoning Administrator to approve the permit, which will then be brought to City Council for approval at their regular meeting.
