No county host-presence rule exists. In Coon Rapids the only residential exemption requires the owner (or qualifying relative) to live in and share all living space with two or fewer tenants—a de facto host-present standard. Whole-home unhosted STRs are banned.
Anoka County imposes no host-presence requirement; the standard is municipal under Minn. Stat. Ch. 462. Coon Rapids City Code §12-904 bans short-term (under-30-day) residential rentals outright, and its only owner-occupancy exemption, §12-903(2)(b), applies where the owner or a qualifying relative and two or fewer tenants share all living space—meaning the host must be physically present and sharing the home, not renting a separate unhosted unit. Even licensed longer-term rentals must supply a 24-hour local contact who resides in the Twin Cities metro area. There is no separate hosted-versus-unhosted STR category countywide.
An unhosted whole-home short-term rental in a residential district violates §12-904 and is enforceable as a public nuisance with administrative penalties.
