Roseville Residents Directory and Public Data

Public records that affect Roseville residents fall under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Chapter 13). Under this law, government data is public by default. If no statute makes the data private or confidential, anyone can see it. You do not have to give a reason. You just ask.

Section 13.03 spells out the right to inspect and copy public data at reasonable times and places. Inspection is free. Paper copies typically cost $0.25 per page. Electronic copies may have a small charge for the media. Staff time fees apply only to large requests, and the rate must match the lowest-paid employee who can do the work. If an office denies your request without a valid legal reason, you can go to district court. The law provides civil penalties up to $1,000 for violations, plus your legal costs if you win.

Roseville does not operate its own court or recorder. Those functions belong to Ramsey County. The city does maintain local records like building permits, zoning decisions, code enforcement actions, and council meeting minutes. For anything beyond city business, you work with the county or state.
