If you intend to change the tenant or land use of a commercial or industrial property, you must notify the City of St. Louis Park to ensure the new use complies with zoning regulations and complete a certificate of occupancy/land use registration application. This requirement applies whether the usage change applies to one tenant (i.e. office space to physician's practice) or the entire building (i.e. retail to restaurant).

How to apply

The building owner or tenant must complete the certificate of occupancy/ land use registration application.

After the application is received, city staff will review the proposed building use change and determine whether any further requirements must be met.

If the proposed use changes the building's state building code occupancy classification, a new certificate of occupancy is required.

Fees

The land use registration fee is $100 unless a new certificate of occupancy is required.
