Assessed value: Dakota County record in the MetroGIS Regional Parcel Dataset, released Jul 20, 2026. County values are set for property tax, trail the market and phase in on newly platted lots (Minn. Stat. § 273.11, subd. 14a). Not an asking price.

Computed from county parcel and map data, as of October 2026. Screening only, not a survey. Sources: Met Council road centerlines (2026-10-08), Generalized Land Use 2025 and active railroads; the regional parcel dataset (2026-07-20); NWI wetlands and DNR public waters; the UMN 2015 1-m tree canopy. Elevation: the MN DNR LiDAR 1 m bare-earth elevation model (metro collection, validated October 2012), data contributed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Walkout and lookout potential are a builder rule of thumb, not a survey.
A plain-language status — not a score. This page documents 5 facts from public records (one of them the 5 building rules cited to Lakeville City Code §11-51-13), estimates 2 more from models, relies on 3 unverified screening defaults, and lists 8 things to verify before you rely on it.
This parcel in Lakeville sits in the Lakeville Area Schools (ISD 194) school district. Part of the parcel is mapped in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so flood insurance and elevation requirements likely apply. Wetland indicators overlap the parcel in screening data — a field delineation is the next step, since mapped lines are not legal boundaries. On utilities, water service is undocumented and sewer service is inside the regional service area — a connection is not confirmed until the city or utility confirms it, so budget time to verify location and fees. Tree cover is substantial — most of the lot sits under canopy in the 2015 modeled estimate, so plan for clearing and tree-preservation choices. We do not yet have data on terrain and water service — on this page, unknown never means "no concern."
Rules applied: Lakeville RS-2 district lot requirements and setbacks — Lakeville City Code §11-51-13 (American Legal, 2026 S-14, code current through Ord. 1122 passed 2026-04-20; section history Ord. 867, sec. 96, 5-17-2010; retrieved 2026-10-01) + regional screening defaults for rules not yet loaded This parcel is mapped as zoning district RS-2 in the city’s published GIS layer. Some rules shown use a regional screening default — the Lakeville ordinance is not yet loaded for them; verify locally before relying on any number.

Slope & terrain: not yet evaluated — unknown is not the same as no concern. no slope statistics
Builder view: Slope & terrain: no qualifying evidence in the current dataset (no slope statistics); treat as unresolved, not as clear.
Part of this parcel is mapped in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zone AE); flood insurance and elevation requirements likely apply — confirm with the city and a surveyor.
Builder view: FEMA zone AE (SFHA) per current NFHL data; floodplain ordinance and base flood elevation requirements apply — elevation certificate and local floodplain review required.
Mapped wetland/public-water indicators overlap this parcel. This is a screening result, not a confirmed legal boundary — a wetland delineation is recommended before design or purchase decisions.
Builder view: NWI/PWI overlap present — a SCREENING constraint, not a delineated boundary; a wetland delineation is recommended before design or purchase decisions. The local ordinance requires a vegetated buffer of 17–50 ft depending on the wetland's classification, plus a structure setback from the buffer — a delineation and classification set the exact figure. WCA/LGU review applies if impacts are proposed.
Public utilities may be available nearby; connection location & fees require confirmation
Uses a regional screening default — the local ordinance is not yet loaded. Verify locally.
Builder view: sanitary sewer: inside the regional wastewater service area (MUSA) — membership is a planning designation, NOT a connection at the boundary; timing unknown, confirm staging with the city.
Water service: not yet evaluated — unknown is not the same as no concern. water service not documented
Builder view: Water service: no qualifying evidence in the current dataset (water service not documented); treat as unresolved, not as clear.
This parcel is in the Lakeville Area Schools (ISD 194) school district per current boundary data.

Preliminary buildable envelope ≈ 9,014 sq ft (about 2.6% of the lot) — a conservative estimate; the actual buildable area is likely larger once lot edges are classified. The 25% total impervious surface cap (§11-102-13(F)) allows about 2 acres, so the setbacks are the binding limit here. That allowance covers house, garage, driveway, patio and walks together, so the house itself will be meaningfully smaller once a driveway is included. Based on Lakeville RS-2 district lot requirements and setbacks — Lakeville City Code §11-51-13 (American Legal, 2026 S-14, code current through Ord. 1122 passed 2026-04-20; section history Ord. 867, sec. 96, 5-17-2010; retrieved 2026-10-01); confirm your parcel's zoning. Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (150 ft, §11-102-13) — Lakeville Shoreland Overlay District — Lakeville City Code §11-102-13 (code current at retrieval, 2026-07); measured from the mapped water edge (DNR Public Waters Inventory basin delineation, retrieved 2026-08-08) — an approximation, not the surveyed ordinary high water line.
Builder view: Conservative uniform inward buffer at the largest applicable setback (30 ft): ≈ 9,014 sq ft (2.6% of lot). Under-approximates the true asymmetric envelope; edge classification will refine. Resolved setbacks: front 30 ft, side 15 ft, rear 30 ft, corner side 30 ft. The 25% total impervious surface cap (§11-102-13(F)) allows ≈ 86,112 sq ft, so the setbacks are the binding limit here. That allowance covers house, garage, driveway, patio and walks together, so the house itself will be meaningfully smaller once a driveway is included.

Governing setback is the shoreland OHWL standard (150 ft, §11-102-13) — Lakeville Shoreland Overlay District — Lakeville City Code §11-102-13 (code current at retrieval, 2026-07); measured from the mapped water edge (DNR Public Waters Inventory basin delineation, retrieved 2026-08-08) — an approximation, not the surveyed ordinary high water line.
This lot is in a mapped shoreland zone of a Natural Environment-class water: structures must be set back 150 ft from the ordinary high water line (§11-102-13). The OHWL location comes from a survey, not a map.
Builder view: Shoreland zone — DNR class Natural Environment. structures must be set back 150 ft from the ordinary high water line (§11-102-13). Bluff and shoreland-impervious standards may also apply; OHWL per survey.
This lot reads as wooded — about 51.7% of it sits under tree canopy (2015 modeled estimate). Expect real trees, and real tree-clearing decisions.
Builder view: Tree canopy ≈ 51.7% of parcel area (Wooded; bands: wooded ≥ 50%, partially wooded 20–50%). Source: 2015 UMN 1-m urban tree canopy (deciduous + coniferous classes); verify current conditions on site — clearing, storms and growth since 2015 are not reflected.
