Jurisdiction for a municipal boundary adjustment is established by submitting an initiating document, filing fee, and map as required by statute. The Municipal Boundary Adjustment Unit provides sample petitions/resolutions for a majority of the adjustments authorized by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 414.
The following is a list of sample petitions, resolutions, and waiver-objection forms for initiating boundary adjustments. If you have any questions regarding these documents, please contact the Municipal Boundary Adjustment Unit Staff.
