City of Independence Minnesota

Welcome to the City of Independence! Independence is a beautiful rural community within a short drive of downtown Minneapolis.

Independence Township was organized on April 11, 1858, became the Village of Independence on January 8, 1957, and the City of Independence on April 9, 1974. It is a “gem” of a rural city in the heart of an exploding metropolis. The area is dotted with pretty, little farms, lovely and unique homes, attractive churches, lakes, ponds, rolling hills, wetlands and large wooded areas. Independence is lo

cated on the western edge of Hennepin County, with a population of 3,700. Loretto, a little city with a number of quaint and excellent restaurants and taverns, is just to our northeast. The city of Delano, with its convenient shopping center, is located on our west boundary. The pretty, quiet, little city of Maple Plain is just to our east. Medina and Orono also lie immediately east and Minnetrista is to our south.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF SCAMS!
We have been made aware that some of our planning applicants have been a target of internet scams asking them to pay additional fees through a wire transfer. These emails unfortunately look very real! The city will never ask you to pay fees through wire transfers. If you have any questions or believe something seems questionable, please reach out to the city directly. We have hear that this is happening in other cities as well, so be on the look out!

Thank you,
City of Independence

*** NEW PAYMENT SYSTEM FOR SEWER PAYMENTS ***
Effective 3/4/2025 we have moved to a new payment system for online sewer payments. After many issues and citizen complaints with our old PSN system, we have integrated a new payment system for our residents on sewer. Paya offers autopay, text to pay and electronic statements if you wish.

If you have an autopay set up with PSN, please cancel it and re-register with Paya/Nuvei at the link below or follow the information in your upcoming mailed statement.

If you have any questions, we are here to help! Call the city at 763-479-0527.
