Wood stove permits in Rosemount.
Rosemount Building Permits and Inspections issues the permit.
Inside Rosemount, permits come from the city’s Building Permits and Inspections department at City Hall, 2875 145th Street West, which enforces the state building code and city ordinances for building and mechanical work. Its Fireplaces page says a building permit is required for all fireplaces at a set $101 fee, and that two copies of plans and specifications are needed for each unit. Projects that need plans are emailed to the permits desk rather than filed through the online no-plan-review portal, and the city says turnaround is running 4–6 weeks. Inspections need 24 hours’ notice (651-322-2024). The page does not name wood stoves, so ask which permit a stove or insert falls under.
City of Rosemount: FireplacesOpen burns need a Fire Marshal permit.
Rosemount requires approval and a permit for all controlled outdoor burns. Its Burning Permits page says not to burn within 75 feet of any structure or when wind is over 15 mph, to call 651-322-6900 and check Minnesota DNR fire restrictions first, and to have the fire out by sunset. Painted wood, plastic, garbage, leaves and grass clippings are not allowed. These rules cover outdoor burning, not an indoor stove, but they show the burn materials the city treats as off limits.
City of Rosemount: burning permitsChimney height and clearance rules.
Rosemount’s fireplace guidance says factory-built heating appliances, chimneys and terminations must be listed by an approved testing agency and installed to their listing, with the manual on site for the inspector. Chimneys must end three feet above where they pass through the roof or chase and two feet above any part of a building within ten feet, unless a listed termination allows less. It sets a two-inch clearance to combustibles for a class A solid-fuel flue.
City of Rosemount: fireplace information sheet (PDF, rev. 2019)Ask whether HVAC fees apply too.
Rosemount’s Fees page lists a residential plumbing and HVAC alteration or repair permit for homes of four units or fewer at $70 plus a $1 surcharge, $71 in all, separate from the $101 fireplace fee. Electrical permits carry a $75 minimum inspection fee plus a $10 administrative fee and $1 surcharge. Ask the Building Department whether a wood stove or insert is billed as a fireplace, an HVAC alteration, or both, and whether a wired blower needs an electrical permit.
City of Rosemount: feesThis is a planning guide, not a permit determination. The local authority and your installer must confirm current requirements for your property and appliance. We have not verified project-specific approvals or fees.

What to ask a Rosemount installer.
- Will you file Rosemount’s fireplace permit and supply the two sets of plans and specifications the city asks for each unit?
- Is my stove or insert billed under the $101 fireplace permit or the $71 HVAC alteration permit, and does a blower need an electrical permit?
- Will the chimney end three feet above the roof and two feet above anything within ten feet, as Rosemount’s fireplace sheet says?

Rosemount wood stove installation FAQs.
How much is a Rosemount fireplace permit?
Rosemount’s Fireplaces page sets a building permit for all fireplaces at $101, which includes the state surcharge. The city does not say whether a freestanding wood stove or insert is billed the same way; its Fees page also lists a $71 residential HVAC alteration permit. Ask the Building Department (651-322-2024) which applies before you budget.
How long does a Rosemount permit take?
Rosemount’s Applications, Permits and Inspections page says permits needing plan review are taking 4–6 weeks because of high construction volume. Fireplace permits ask for two copies of plans and specifications, so build that time into your schedule, and book inspections at least 24 hours ahead.
Can I burn brush in my Rosemount yard?
Only with a permit. Rosemount requires approval for all controlled outdoor burns: apply to the Fire Marshal, stay 75 feet from structures, skip windy days over 15 mph, check DNR restrictions and have the fire out by sunset. That is separate from an indoor wood stove, which needs a building permit instead.
