Eden Prairie Fire Department FAQ (permit answers)Rental wood fireplaces must be cleaned every three years.
Beginning January 1, 2026, Eden Prairie requires wood-burning fireplaces in all rental properties to be cleaned once every three years. Proof, such as an invoice or report, can be emailed to the fire code office or uploaded in Community Connect. Landlords who do not want the three-year service can make the fireplace inoperable, for example by covering or locking the doors. If you rent out a home with a wood-burning fireplace, ask the city whether a stove or insert in it falls under the rule.
Eden Prairie: change in maintenance requirement for fireplaces and chimneys (April 17, 2025)Working without a permit doubles the fee.

It prices permits by job valuation including materials and labour, requires gas-line work to be done by a Class A gasfitter, and says a permit is void if work does not start within 180 days or stops for 180 days. The fee table is dated 2007; check current fees with the city.
