About Hennepin County
Hennepin County covers Minneapolis and the western Twin Cities suburbs and is Minnesota's most populous county. Every parcel lies inside a city, so zoning and building permits are handled by the cities; Minneapolis and several suburbs also run their own assessor offices while the county assesses the rest. The county Recorder/Registrar of Titles, Taxpayer Services, and Surveyor's Office handle recorded documents, tax payments, and plats.
