Hosts must apply for a short-term rental license and list the registration ID number on all platforms. Further conditions may apply depending upon the short-term rental platform.
Exempt Properties: Certain properties (only renting a bedroom, 30+ day rentals, etc.) are exempt from needing to list a registration ID. However, depending on your short-term rental platform, you may still be required to indicate this exemption in your account.
Short-term rental registrations require the following:
If you own both short-term and regular rental units in the same property, you need to license the short-term and regular units separately. Short-term rental licenses follow the same fee structure and inspection cycle as regular licenses and may include either a conversion fee or a change of ownership fee, depending on the type of unit being rented.
Short-term registrations (see below) cost $50. There's no fee to change a current regular rental license to a short-term license.
A neighbor notification letter template is included in the application packet. For help finding contact information for neighbor notification, see the City's PropertyInfo resource. If you live next to a condominium building, you only need to send one letter to the management company, not each individual unit.
Owners are limited to one short-term rental property in Minneapolis in addition to their homesteaded property. This includes limited liability companies (LLCs).
In buildings with 20 or more units, no more than 10% of the units can be short-term rentals.
