Minnesota Permit Rules for Shed Moves
Any shed move in Alexandria that exceeds 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall on the trailer becomes an oversize load under Minnesota rules. The permit comes from the MnDOT OS/OW Permits, and the fee is typically $15–$300 for a single-trip move.
Spring weight restrictions affect March–May moves. Minnesota is known for lakes-region routes and seasonal frost-law weight limits, which affects route planning more than in flatter states. Your hauler handles the permit, the route survey if one's needed, and any escort coordination — you don't have to call the state.
Rule of thumb for Alexandria homeowners: any shed narrower than 8'6" (10x-anything, most 10x12s and 10x14s) usually moves without a permit. 12-wide sheds and bigger nearly always trigger one.
