Maple Grove, MN Short-Term Rentals: Night Caps (2026)

Maple Grove's short-term rental ordinance defines a short-term rental by the length of each stay - less than 30 days at one time - but it does not impose an annual cap on the number of nights or bookings a licensed property may host. We found no provision in City Code Chapter 10, Article XI, the short-term rental dwelling license materials, or the application that limits short-term rentals to a maximum number of rented nights per year. Once a property holds a valid annual short-term rental dwelling license and has passed its inspection, it may be rented for qualifying short stays throughout the license term. The principal time-based distinction in the code is the 30-day threshold: rentals of 30 days or more fall outside the short-term rental definition (and, for tax purposes, outside lodging tax). Maple Grove's controls on short-term rentals are licensing, inspection, training, occupancy, and conduct standards rather than a night-cap. This mirrors Minnesota's general approach, which does not preempt local night-cap rules but also does not require them - cities choose whether to adopt one, and Maple Grove has not. Operators should still confirm there are no overlay restrictions tied to their specific zoning district or homeowners' association, which can impose private limits the city does not.
