Egress window rules in Minneapolis
Minneapolis follows the Minnesota Residential Code: each bedroom needs an egress opening of at least 5 square feet at or below grade, 24 inches tall, 20 inches wide, with a sill no higher than 44 inches. Here is what the city's own pages add:
Minneapolis requires an egress window in every sleeping room and in every basement. (source)
An egress window permit does not make a basement bedroom legal if it was built without a permit. (source)
A window well must be at least 2 feet from any side or rear lot line. (source)
Security bars or grilles over an egress window must be approved before they go in. (source)
For bedrooms that already exist, fire inspectors accept an opening at least 24 inches high and 20 inches wide, with the sill within 48 inches of the floor. (source)
Construction Code Services: 612-673-3000. (source)
