SF 1914 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain municipalities permission to extend zoning authority to unincorporated territory

This bill allows large Minnesota cities (with over 100,000 residents) to extend their zoning and subdivision regulations to nearby unincorporated land, even in areas where counties or towns already have their own zoning. Currently, such cities cannot extend authority into zones with existing county/town regulations, but this bill removes that restriction. It applies specifically to areas within two miles of a city's boundary. The change affects unincorporated territories adjacent to large cities and modifies existing statutes (462.357 and 462.358) to permit this expanded jurisdiction.
