Airbnb, Vrbo, and similar platforms must register with Minneapolis Regulatory Services, verify host licenses, remit lodging taxes, and respond to delisting requests for unlicensed listings under Title 8 Chapter 277.
Minneapolis Title 8 Ch. 277 imposes obligations on hosting platforms in addition to individual hosts. Platforms must obtain a Hosting Platform License, display each property's Minneapolis license number in the listing, and provide quarterly data reports to Regulatory Services covering booking nights, gross revenue, and host identity. Platforms must remove listings within 5 business days of receiving a delisting notice for unlicensed or revoked properties. Minnesota Statute Section 297A also requires platforms to collect and remit state and local lodging taxes on transactions. Failure to comply exposes platforms to per-listing civil penalties.
Platforms failing to display license numbers, ignoring delisting requests, or failing to remit tax data face civil penalties per listing, enforcement orders, and potential operating injunctions.
