Maple Grove's short-term rentals must comply with the city's noise and nuisance code. The rental ordinance's crime-free section (Sec. 10-363) treats violations of noise sections 20-81, 20-82, 20-88, 20-89, and 20-91, and noisy assemblies, as disorderly conduct that can trigger license enforcement against the property.
Maple Grove does not publish a separate decibel limit just for short-term rentals; instead, rentals are bound by the city's general noise and nuisance regulations, and the rental ordinance makes those rules enforceable through the license. Under City Code Sec. 10-363 (the Crime-Free Rental Housing Ordinance), the owner or operator is responsible for ensuring that tenants and guests do not cause the premises to be disorderly. 'Disorderly conduct' expressly includes violations of Sections 20-81, 20-82, 20-88, 20-89, and 20-91 of the Code, which prohibit noise and noisy assemblies, and Minnesota Statutes 609.72 disorderly conduct when it disturbs the peace and quiet of occupants of another unit or premises. The ordinance's stated purpose is that tenants may pursue quiet enjoyment in surroundings free from noise, nuisances, and annoyances. Maple Grove uses a graduated enforcement process: a first instance of disorderly conduct brings notice to the owner; a second within 12 months requires a written corrective report; and a third can lead to provisional licensure, revocation, or non-renewal under Sec. 10-356. Because the disorderly-conduct count attaches to the rental unit, repeated noise complaints at a short-term rental put the license itself at risk. Operators should set clear quiet-hours house rules and ensure guests comply with the city's noise sections.
Noise violations are enforced as disorderly conduct under Sec. 10-363(f): notice on the first instance, a required written report on the second within 12 months, and possible provisional licensure, revocation, or non-renewal on the third under Sec. 10-356.
