STR Rule Watch

Can I Airbnb in Minneapolis, MN? (2026)

Yes, but with real restrictionsRestricted

Minneapolis allows short-term rentals but requires a short-term rental license (a lower-cost registration for homestead properties, currently $64/year) for any rental of 30 days or less, unless you rent a spare room while remaining in your home. Owners are capped at one STR property besides their own home, occupancy is capped at 10 guests, and in buildings of 20+ units only 10% of units may be STRs (condos exempt). Stays are taxed at roughly 12.025% (state and local sales taxes plus a 3% citywide Minneapolis entertainment tax); platforms like Airbnb collect these as accommodations intermediaries on platform bookings.

What’s required: a Short-term rental license (homestead properties file a short-term rental registration) ($64) is required; occupancy taxes apply; renew annual.
