8,938 of Hennepin County's 445,965 parcels pass the Lot
Finder's build-candidate test — 2.0% of the county, against 3.4% across the seven-county
metro. That is 22.8% of the metro's 39,176 candidates on 39.2% of its parcels, which is the
short version of why people looking for land look here.
The table below is the whole county, not the part of it we have pages for. 0 of the 46 jurisdictions are townships, and
between them they hold 0 candidates — 0% of the county's buildable land
sits outside any city.
All 46 jurisdictions · parcels and build candidates, city by city and township by township
Measured 2026-08-03 by applying the Lot Finder ingest pipeline's own build-candidate
predicate to the regional parcel data, so the census counts what an ingest would select. A
build candidate is a parcel that looks buildable from public records. It is
not a for-sale listing, it is not an offer, and many candidates are not on the market. Two
rows carry no candidates and are kept rather than dropped, because removing them would
misstate the jurisdiction count: a block of parcels the county layer does not attribute to a
jurisdiction, and a single Shorewood parcel that falls inside the Hennepin layer.
How the Rules Differ Across Hennepin County
Every city in Hennepin County writes its own zoning ordinance, and the numbers that
decide how large a house fits on a given lot — minimum lot area, setbacks, impervious surface
caps, shoreland setbacks — are set city by city, not by the county. Below is what this site
holds, sourced from each city's publisher of record. Where a figure is not held, it says so.

Hennepin County Cities
Full builder directories, local market notes and cost guidance for the Hennepin County
cities with a city page:
275 builders in this directory declare a service area covering at least one of Hennepin County's 44 cities. Every one is verified the same way as the rest of the directory: Minnesota DLI licence where one is on record, and a confirmed service area. Builders serving a county rarely serve all of it — check the service area on each profile against the specific city you are building in.
How much buildable land is there in Hennepin County?
8,938 of Hennepin County's 445,965 parcels pass the Lot Finder's build-candidate test — 2.0% of the county, and 22.8% of the 39,176 candidates across the seven-county metro. Measured 2026-08-03 by applying the ingest pipeline's own candidate predicate to the regional parcel data. A candidate is a parcel that looks buildable from public records; it is not a listing, and it is not necessarily for sale.
Which Hennepin County cities does this directory hold ordinance data for?
Sourced land-use figures — setbacks, lot minimums, impervious caps, shoreland setbacks — are held for Edina, Minnetonka, Orono, Wayzata, read from the city's publisher of record with each figure carrying its section number. For the county's other cities the figures are not held, and this page says so rather than showing a regional default as if it were the city's own rule.
Do I need a county permit or a city permit in Hennepin County?
In an incorporated city, the city issues the building permit and enforces its own zoning ordinance — which is why the setback and coverage rules on this page differ city by city. In the county's 0 townships, land use is administered at the township and county level instead, and septic and well permits are county functions. Hennepin County's townships hold 0 of its 8,938 build candidates, so this is not an edge case here: it is roughly 0% of the county's buildable land.
Is Hennepin County a good place to build a custom home?
It has land, which is the constraint that binds hardest in the inner metro: 2.0% of its parcels pass the build-candidate test against 3.4% metro-wide. The trade-off is that much of that land sits in townships rather than cities, where you are more likely to be on a well and a septic system and further from municipal sewer. The cities on the county's eastern edge — Chanhassen, Chaska, Victoria — are the sewered, closer-in end of the same county.
