Building permits requirements provision

SF 224 requires local government agencies in Minnesota to approve or deny written building permit requests - including those for zoning, septic systems, or watershed reviews - within 60 days. If an agency fails to act within this timeframe, the request is automatically approved. The bill also mandates that agencies provide written reasons for denials, with multimember bodies required to state reasons on the record and provide written justification within a specified period. This directly affects applicants seeking permits and local agencies responsible for processing these requests.
