Most Hennepin County cities require short-term rental hosts to provide one off-street parking space per bedroom or per booking. On-street guest parking is restricted in residential zones, especially during winter snow emergencies declared by Minneapolis and inner suburbs.
STR licensing in Hennepin County cities typically requires hosts to designate off-street parking and prohibit guests from parking on lawns or blocking sidewalks. Minneapolis requires a parking plan in STR applications. Winter snow emergencies, declared November through April, ban on-street parking on plowed routes between specified hours; STR guests are not exempt and parking violations get the vehicle towed at the renter's expense. Some lakeshore cities limit on-street guest parking near public access points to preserve resident access.
On-street parking violations during snow emergencies cost $42 plus tow fees over $200. STR license violations can result in $500 city fines and license suspension after repeated complaints.
