Chicken Licenses (*effective 9/27/2021)

The City has amended its ordinances to allow the keeping of chickens. Chickens are required to be licensed and a zoning permit is also required for the chicken facilities.

Driver's License

The Minnesota Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has a licensing facility in Arden Hills. However, the City has no involvement in driver examinations and does not issue/renew drivers' licenses. You may reach the DMV at 651-201-7900 or through their website.  

Pet Licenses (dogs/cats)

Pets are required to be licensed. An license fee paid to the city allows the city to know which homes have dogs, cats and other pets. This helps if your pet gets lost. 

Rental Registration

If you wish to rent your property, you must register it with the city.
