Overview

Mission

Minnesota developers and builders legal action fund was formed to provide a means by which the home builders and residential developers of Minnesota could protect their interest in the judicial and administrative hearing arenas.

What it reported doing in 2011

A twin cities area builder came to the legal action fund requesting help for an issue they are having in norwood young america (nya). Metro west inspections services services the building inspection and issues permits for nya and approximately 20 other cities. The building permit valuation table used by metro west overstates the cost of construction of the home on the building permit i.e. The builder submitted a permit valuation of 80,000, nya assigned a valuation of 141,000; the builders actual cost for permit-related work was approximately 79,426. The same thing happened on two consecutive permits that were pulled by the builder. The builder and their legal counsel have attempted to address the issue directly with city staff; the city said it would not adjust the valuation for permit applications. The legal action fund formally engaged nya to compel their compliance with the law. The case is currently in-process.
