Public Safety Ordinances

Peddlers / Solicitor Permits
If door-to-door sales people solicit your home, they are required to have a 'Peddlers Permit', which must be signed by the Town Board. If a peddler does not hold an approved permit, please contact the Chief of Police at (651) 439-0796. If you are able to obtain a name and license plate number of the vehicle being used, it will help facilitate the matter.  Please refer to Ordinance 137 Regulating Peddlers & Solicitors and also the following forms:

Peddler's License Application Form
Background Check Release Form
 
Burning Permits
A burning permit is required for a brush pile(s) larger than 3'X3'X3'. The cost is $20 for a regular permit and $10 for a buckthorn burning permit and they may be obtained by contacting Steve Nelson at (651) 439-0796.

Burning of prairie grass and other "running fires" first requires a Department of Natural Resource's variance. You may apply for one by contacting Art Widerstrom at (651) 982-9720, ext. 224.  Once obtained, please contact Steve Nelson for assistance in getting the required permit issued at that time.

Summer Burning Hours are restricted to the hours of 6 p.m. until 8 a.m.  One day notice is requested to obtain a permit.  Winter burning hours are 24/7 with a permit.
