Important information updates:

Building Permits are required for most home improvement projects. Building permits help ensure that your projects meet building code and safety standards. There is a penalty for starting construction without a permit. For permit questions or information call 320-328-5318 or email us at deputyclerk@cityofbrownton.com. Permit forms are available on the Home page of our website under City Services.

Minnesota's Cold Weather Rule (CWR) is a state law that protects residential utility customers from having electric or natural gas service shut off between October 1 and April 30. To protect your service from disconnection you must contact the City of Brownton to make and keep a payment plan that you and your utility agree on.
