Steps
Have the licensed contractor submit a well notification and fee to the Minnesota Department of Health before drilling begins
Confirm whether the county requires anything beyond the state notification, since state notification preempts most local permits with some county exceptions
Construct the well per Minnesota well construction rules (casing, grouting, and disinfection)
Collect a post-construction water sample and disinfect the well before the owner uses it
Submit the verified well/boring report to MDH within 60 days of completion or sealing
Known gotchas
State notification generally preempts county well permits, but some counties (e.g., Dakota County) retain independent regulatory authority, so verify the specific county's rules
The 60-day report deadline runs from completion or sealing, not from the notification date
Proposed withdrawals over 10,000 gallons per day or 1 million gallons per year trigger a separate DNR water-appropriation permit process before drilling
