No county STR occupancy cap exists. Where short-term rentals are barred (Coon Rapids), the only owner-occupied exception allows the owner plus two or fewer tenants who share all living space. Cities also apply building-code and nuisance occupancy limits.
Anoka County sets no short-term-rental occupancy limit; occupancy is governed by city code and the state building code. Because Coon Rapids City Code §12-904 bans under-30-day residential rentals, the practical occupancy question is its licensing exception: §12-903(2)(b) exempts property occupied by the owner or a qualifying relative and two or fewer tenants who share all living space—effectively a small, owner-present household rather than a commercial STR. Blaine and other cities enforce general property-maintenance and over-occupancy standards keyed to bedrooms, floor area and the Minnesota building code. There is no numeric guest cap specific to vacation rentals countywide.
Over-occupancy is treated as a public nuisance and property-maintenance violation, enforceable through administrative citations, abatement, and—for licensed rentals—license revocation.
