Check Out the Cutest Permit Request Ever

Two young Eden Prairie residents wanted to make sure they had the proper permission before they started their dream project.

Paul and Tanvi dreamed of building a tree house. But the 8 and 9 year old knew they needed permission before they grabbed some nails and started hammering away.

They didn’t just ask their parents, though.

In what may be the cutest permit request ever, the children sat down and wrote a note to the city that City Manager Rick Getschow shared in a Wednesday blog post.

“Paul and Tanvi do not need a permit for the tree house – but we are happy to provide some advice and appreciated that they checked in with us,” Getschow wrote.

Check out the letter and the city’s response in the gallery above.
