Welcome to the City of Forada!

We are a small city located in central Minnesota on beautiful Maple Lake.

Welcome to the official online home of Forada, a wonderfully friendly community covering just over half a square mile in Douglas County, Minnesota. Our small town thrives thanks to the dedication of our Village Council, the bravery of our Volunteer Fire Department, and the commitment of our First Responders. This site is your connection to local events, important services, and our genuine community spirit. We're truly glad you're here!

Planning a Project?

Before you begin your next home project, be sure to check our updated land use guidelines. This information clarifies when a permit is required for new construction, additions, decks, and other changes to your property, and what projects—like replacing siding or roofing—do not need an application.

Complete the Land Use Permit Application and submit to the clerk and city council for processing and issuance of a permit.
