Goodhue County Fee Reimbursement

Goodhue County has launched the Employment & Tax Base Diversification Fee Reimbursement Program, designed to reduce financial barriers for residential, commercial, and industrial property improvements.

Eligible applicants can now receive rebates from Goodhue County for building permit fees, water access charges, and sewer access charges on qualifying projects.

The program supports new construction, building additions, and some industrial property upgrades in the cities and townships of Goodhue County.

Reimbursement Limits:

• Residential: Up to $5,000 per unit, $10,000 per project

• Commercial & Industrial: Up to $10,000 per project

• SAC/WAC: Up to $5,000 per unit, $10,000 per project

• 
  

Ineligible projects include demolition-only work, residential interior remodels, maintenance or mechanical permits, and projects on tax-exempt properties and those receiving certain public financial assistance.

For eligible projects, property owners or contractors should first apply for permits and pay applicable fees to their appropriate local jurisdiction before processing an application for reimbursement with Goodhue County.

Funding is limited and applications for reimbursement will be processed in the order received.

The program will close once funds are exhausted or on June 22, 2026, whichever comes first.
