City code and charter

Important information: In June 2010, the Minnesota Supreme Court issued a ruling that significantly reduced the authority the city of Minnetonka has to allow flexibility to property owners who want to make changes to their property. Learn more.

Just as each state has its own laws, cities have the authority to create their own ordinances. These ordinances are assembled into a book that is called the “City Code of Ordinances.” Minnetonka’s city code also includes the city’s charter. All this information is available to you on-line, including search capabilities to help you find the information you seek.

If you have questions about specifications within the City Code, please call 952.939.8200 and your call will be directed to the appropriate department.
