Dakota County has no STR parking rule. Cities set them. Mendota Heights limits overnight vehicles to the number allowed by its Property Maintenance Code and requires listings to state the overnight vehicle cap and post a parking map.
Parking for short-term rentals is regulated by cities, not Dakota County. Under Mendota Heights City Code 3-5A-4(A), the maximum number of vehicles parked overnight must be consistent with the city's Property Maintenance Code, and vehicles inside garages are not counted. The listing must state the overnight vehicle limit, and the operator must post a parking map showing all allowable parking locations inside the unit. Other Dakota County cities impose their own driveway and street-parking limits, so confirm the rules with your city before hosting.
Over-parking or failing to post required parking information is a city licensing violation subject to notice and enforcement.
