Local rules and resources in Eden Prairie
Eden Prairie's Building Inspections page says mechanical permits are required for the installation, alteration, repair or extension of manufactured gas or wood fireplaces and stoves and manufactured chimney and venting systems, along with any heating, ventilation or exhaust system, as required by the building official or mechanical inspector. The same page says a homeowner who owns and occupies the property may do their own work unless it is natural gas work, but permits are still required, and that whether a home repair needs a permit depends on the job, so residents should call 952-949-8341 for the office to decide.
The Eden Prairie Fire Department's carbon monoxide advice says to have combustion appliances inspected every year, to make sure all flues, chimneys and exhaust vent pipes are connected properly, in good condition and unobstructed, including by snow, and to open the chimney flue fully when using the fireplace. The department says Minnesota State Law requires an approved, operational CO detector within 10 feet of every bedroom or sleeping area. The city requires all rental property to be licensed and inspected annually, and its fire department FAQ lists 952-949-8373 for rental licensing questions.
For outdoor recreational fires, the city's guidelines set a size limit of 3 feet wide by 3 feet high and a distance of at least 25 feet from combustible structures such as homes, sheds, decks or fences, with an exception for portable, screened fire vessels that meet the page's conditions, and allow these fires between 7 a.m. and midnight. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said in an October 13, 2020 post that new wood stoves and outdoor boilers must be certified to 2020 emission standards to be sold or installed in Minnesota.
