Cities that license short-term rentals may require off-street parking or a parking plan. Minnesota has no statewide street-parking time limit, and winter snow-emergency bans complicate overnight parking for guests.
Scott County cities that regulate short-term rentals may ask hosts to provide off-street parking or file a parking plan so guest vehicles don't overwhelm a residential street. Minnesota sets no statewide limit on how long a car can sit on a street, so each city's rules apply. The bigger winter issue is snow emergencies: when a city declares one, vehicles must clear designated routes or risk being towed. Hosts should spell out parking arrangements and winter restrictions in their listing, especially for lake properties with narrow road access.
Ignoring a parking plan can affect permit renewal. Cars towed during a snow emergency cost roughly $150 to $300 or more to retrieve.
