For any property that is listed on the National Registers of Historic Places or Minnesota State Register of Historic Places, Minnesota Statutes 116D.04 and Minnesota Rule 4410.4300 Subp. 31 stipulates that demolition in whole or part must be reviewed prior to issuance of a city permit.
In the City of Saint Paul, the Department of Planning and Economic Development (PED) serves as the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) and is authorized to conduct environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) review. Review is required when a project involves the demolition of a primary structure or the partial demolition of more than 60 percent of the overall structure.
To begin the process, applicants should apply for a building permit in the PAULIE Permitting System. City staff will be alerted and assigned in the system automatically. No extra applications are needed.
ALL applications will need to be submitted to the city via PAULIE (applications no longer come directly to city staff)
