Hennepin County cities cap STR occupancy at two persons per bedroom plus two additional, with hard maximums often set at 10-12 guests regardless of unit size. Minneapolis and Bloomington enforce strict per-night counts to prevent party-house conversions.
STR occupancy in Hennepin County cities follows the standard 2-per-bedroom-plus-2 formula derived from Minnesota State Building Code. Minneapolis caps STR units at 10 guests overnight; Bloomington 12; Edina 8. Children under 12 typically count as half. Hosts must list maximum occupancy in the listing and post it inside the unit. Exceeding occupancy is the most common cause of STR license revocation in Hennepin County, often triggered by neighbor complaints during weddings or sports events near US Bank Stadium and Target Field.
Occupancy violations result in $500-$1,000 city fines per incident, mandatory inspection, and license suspension after a second violation in twelve months.
