Applications & Business Licensing
The City of Lakeville strives to provide professional and technical expertise to guide the land use decisions of public officials, residents and the development community to ensure that the highest development standards are implemented consistently and fairly throughout the City. For your convenience the Planning and Community & Economic Development Departments offer the following application forms for printout.
Depending on the size and complexity of the project, and if the project needs to be considered by the Planning Commission or the City Council, the review process can take from 60 up to 120 days. Some projects may not need Planning Commission and City Council consideration and can be administratively reviewed by staff, substantially shortening the review time required. Learn more by reviewing the Development Review Process or by calling the Planning Department at 952-985-4420.
SCAM ALERT: Please be advised the City of Lakeville will never request money to be sent via wire transfer.
