Per a conversation with PLRB on June 5, 2019, with Julie Aalfs, Deputy Clerk, Clara City, MN does not enforce MN State Building Codes.
The State Building Code is the standard that applies statewide for the construction, reconstruction, alteration, and repair of buildings and other structures of the type governed by the code.. Minnesota Statutes Anointed § 326B.121-1(b) states: "The State Building Code supersedes the building code of any municipality." Minn. Stat. Ann. § 326B.121-1(b) (State Building Code)
However, Clara City, MN has a requirement for a building permit to be obtained for a new or existing structure or building being constructed, altered, repaired or enlarged. This requirement is found in §154.16 (C1) Administration and Enforcement of its Zoning Code. This Zoning Code can be assessed here.
