Since January 1, 2024, all Sioux Falls residential rental property owners must obtain a city permit before renting. The permit requires owner information, a $50 fee (starting July 1, 2024), and completion of a 2-hour training course. Short-term rentals have additional requirements.
Sioux Falls Code §150.177 (Rental Housing, Chapter 150) requires every owner of a residential rental unit to hold a valid city permit prior to allowing occupancy or advertising for rent. The permit application must include the owner's name, mailing address, phone number, property address, and number of units. Owners residing more than 50 miles from Sioux Falls must designate a local contact authorized to order repairs. Applicants must complete a minimum of 2 hours of director-approved training; this is waived if the property is managed by a licensed broker or property manager. The $50 permit fee took effect July 1, 2024; new construction receives a fee waiver if permitted before first occupancy. Short-term rental owners must also provide
Operating a rental without a permit subjects the owner to penalties under §10.999. Two noise, nuisance, or health citations in one year can trigger permit suspension.
