View Minneapolis permit data →The Minnesota climate writes the work order. Brutal winters guarantee year-round heating installs and replacements, and the freeze-thaw cycle keeps plumbing busy. The data is lopsided toward exactly those trades: in the trailing 90 days Minneapolis filed 1,516 HVAC permits and 1,084 plumbing permits — roughly 2,600 mechanical jobs, the two dominant categories in the city by a wide margin.

The Minneapolis Trade Picture
Mechanical work dominates, with a strong roofing and envelope layer underneath:
- HVAC — 1,516 permits. Furnace and boiler replacements, plus high-efficiency and heat-pump upgrades.
- Plumbing — 1,084 permits. Re-pipes, water heaters, and rough-ins across the aging housing stock.
- Roofing — 383 permits. Storm and snow-load driven replacement.
- Interior Renovation — 176 permits and Windows & Doors — 123.
- Landscaping & Exterior — 70 and Solar — 30 permits.
If you sell to mechanical trades — HVAC and plumbing distribution, equipment, financing, or subcontracting — Minneapolis is a concentrated, high-frequency call list. The 2,816 named contractors also make it one of the better markets for supplier and software targeting.
Why Permit Data Beats Lead Marketplaces
A Minneapolis permit is a record of work on a real, addressable property, not a shared inquiry resold to competitors. You see the system, the address, the project value, and the date — and on hundreds of records the contractor phone. Lead with the permit: referencing the actual job a contractor just pulled proves you are calling about current activity, not reading down a purchased list.
