STR guests must park legally on site or on street. Minneapolis winter parking (snow emergencies, even/odd sides) applies to guest vehicles. Listings must disclose parking.
Minneapolis does not impose a minimum STR-specific parking quota, but the license requires the host to describe available parking in the listing and house rules. Guests parking on the street must follow all posted time limits, permit zones, and critically the Minneapolis Snow Emergency rules that alternate plowing routes and side-of-street parking during declared emergencies (typically 1 to 3 per winter). Vehicles blocking alleys, hydrants, or driveways are ticketed and towed. Residential permit parking districts (near the University of Minnesota, downtown, Uptown, and certain Near North areas) bar non-permitted vehicles during posted hours, so STR hosts in those zones must provide off-street parking or a day-pass process. Guest tow fees average 250 USD in Minneapolis.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Minneapolis code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
