Summary
Anoka County sets no annual night cap. Its cities regulate instead, and Coon Rapids does not cap nights but bans any rental under 30 consecutive days in residential zones. The 30-day line, not a night limit, defines what is prohibited.
Short-term rental of any dwelling or dwelling unit for less than 30 consecutive days in a residential zoning district is prohibited.
Full Breakdown
No county night-cap rule exists; night limits, if any, are a city choice under Minn. Stat. Ch. 462. Rather than capping the number of rental nights per year, Coon Rapids City Code §12-904 prohibits any residential rental for less than 30 consecutive days, so the operative threshold is stay length, not a seasonal night ceiling. Blaine and other Anoka County cities likewise use the 30-day transient threshold and rental licensing rather than annual night caps. If your city permits short-term rentals, ask whether it imposes any maximum-nights or minimum-stay condition; countywide there is none.
Violations & Fines
Renting for less than 30 consecutive days in a Coon Rapids residential district violates §12-904 regardless of how many nights per year, and is abatable as a public nuisance.
