Mille Lacs County Receives Demand Letter on Behalf of Amish Communities

Several Amish communities in Mille Lacs County are alleging the county’s zoning and permitting requirements discriminate against their religious beliefs and have threatened legal action if the issues are not resolved.

A demand letter sent Aug. 24 on behalf of the communities by the First Liberty Institute, Foley & Lardner LLP and the Harvard Law School Religious Freedom Clinic argues the county’s building permit process and enforcement of building requirements place an unlawful burden on Amish religious practices.
