Shoreland Regulations I Minnesota DNR https://www,dnrstate.mn.us/waters/watermgmt_section/shoreland/re... <br />DEPARTMENT OF <br />NATURAL RESOURCES <br />shoreland Regulations <br />Minnesota's shoreland Management Program guides land development along Minnesota's <br />lakes and rivers to protect their ecological, recreational, and economic values. The state <br />shoreland rules (MR 6120.2500 - 6120.3900 _(https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/rules <br />/?id=6120) ) establish minimum standards to protect habitat and water quality and <br />preserve property values. These standards are implemented through local shoreland <br />ordinances. <br />Anyone who owns land along a lake or river should contact their local county, city, or <br />township with questions about the standards and permit requirements that apply to their <br />property. <br />The DNR's role is to ensure that local shoreland ordinances comply with the state <br />shoreland rules and to provide technical assistance and oversight to these local <br />governments. <br />Local Government Administrative Resources <br />Model Shoreland Ordinance <br />Updated April 28, 2022, the model serves as a tool for local governments to develop new <br />or amend existing shoreland ordinances. <br />• Model Shoreland Ordinance (/waters/watermgmt section/ shoreland/mod-ord.html) <br />Innovative Higher Standards <br />Many counties have adopted innovative and even higher standards in their zoning <br />ordinances. The DNR periodically updates an inventory of county and city shoreland <br />regulations that provide better resource protection and administrative practices than the <br />shoreland rules. <br />• Innovative Shoreland Standards Showcase (/waters/watermgmt section/shoreland <br />/innovative-standards.html) <br />shoreland Ordinance Review and Approval <br />The DNR must review and approve all local shoreland ordinances and amendments. <br />• Process for Adopting and Amending Shoreland Ordinances (/waters <br />/watermgmt section/shoreland/adopt-amend-ordinances.html ) <br />shoreland Reclassifications <br />1 of 4 2/1 s/2o2a, �aa an 53 <br />
