FAQ
Common questions
How does Edina's threshold compare to Minneapolis and St. Paul?
Edina's 25,000 sq ft threshold is lower than the 50,000 sq ft threshold used by both Minneapolis and St. Paul, meaning smaller buildings are covered in Edina than in its larger neighbors.
Is there a periodic assessment requirement in Edina, similar to Berkeley's?
Secondary sources reference an assessment element, but the underlying research could not fully confirm its cadence or scope — verify directly with the city before relying on this detail.
