Centerville is its own permit jurisdiction, which trips up contractors who work the rest of Anoka County. The county does not issue building permits or inspect permitted projects. Applications for a Centerville addition, re-roof, siding job or new build go to the city's own building department at City Hall on Main Street, and the city runs electrical inspection on a separate track. Powerbuilt files with the city directly. Our shop in Ham Lake is about twenty minutes up the road.

What Powerbuilt Handles in Centerville

Home Additions

Room additions and second-story additions for Centerville families who want more space without leaving a city of under four thousand people.

Deck Construction

Permitted decks in composite or cedar, with footings set below the frost line and inspected before anything is framed over them.

Porch Construction

Screened porches and three season rooms, the most requested project on Centerville's lake lots once the summer bugs arrive.

Basement Finishing

Framing, insulation, egress windows and finish work that turns an unfinished Centerville lower level into code compliant living space.

Kitchen Remodeling

Layouts, cabinets and the structural changes behind them, handled as one coordinated project instead of four separate trades.

Custom Home Building

New builds on Centerville's remaining lots, from site evaluation and the city's plan and survey requirements through final inspection.

Why It Matters

Who Actually Issues Your Permit in Centerville

Most of Anoka County's cities run their own building departments, and Centerville is one of them. The county tracks permits for property valuation but does not issue them, so a contractor who files with the county for a Centerville job has filed with the wrong office. The city also requires professionally prepared plans, a site survey and insulation certification on new construction, and it schedules electrical inspection through a separate inspector. None of that is difficult. It is just a specific process, and knowing it is the difference between starting on the date you were promised and starting two weeks later.

What Centerville Homeowners Actually Hire Us For

Lake lots, older housing stock and a city boundary that does not match the mailing address.

Centerville is a small city with a lot of water in it. Centerville Lake and Peltier Lake are part of the Rice Creek chain, and the projects we get called for reflect that: decks, screened porches and three season rooms facing the water, plus additions on homes that were built before anyone planned for a second bathroom. Work near the shoreline can bring the Rice Creek Watershed District into the review alongside the city permit, particularly where a project disturbs a larger area of ground. We sort that out before the footings go in. The other thing worth knowing is that Centerville is completely surrounded by Lino Lakes, so a mailing address is not proof of jurisdiction. We confirm which city reviews the plans first.

Centerville Construction Questions

Who issues building permits in Centerville?

The city does. Anoka County does not issue building permits or inspect permitted work, so a Centerville addition, deck, re-roof, siding job or new build is permitted through the city's own building department at City Hall on Main Street. Centerville also uses a separate electrical inspector, so electrical work is scheduled on its own track.

Does Powerbuilt pull the permits for Centerville projects?

Yes, on every job that needs one. Powerbuilt files the application with the City of Centerville directly and schedules the inspections, including the separate electrical inspection. Nothing gets covered up before it has been looked at.

My mailing address says Centerville but I am not sure which city I am in. Does it matter?

It matters for the permit. Centerville is completely surrounded by Lino Lakes, and the 55038 zip code reaches into Hugo as well, so the mailing address does not always tell you the jurisdiction. We confirm which city reviews the plans before anything is submitted. We build in Lino Lakes and Hugo too, so either answer is fine.

Do lake lots in Centerville have extra rules?

They can. Centerville Lake and Peltier Lake are part of the Rice Creek chain and sit inside the Rice Creek Watershed District, so shoreline work or a larger area of disturbed ground can add a watershed district review on top of the city permit. We check that before a footing is dug rather than after.

How far is Powerbuilt's shop from Centerville?

Powerbuilt is based in Ham Lake, roughly twenty minutes away. That is close enough for Bob to be on site during the work rather than only at the start and the walkthrough.
