Short-term rental permit rules in Anoka County, MN — also called Airbnb permits, vacation rental licenses, or STR registration — list the application steps, fees, and operating requirements for hosting.
Anoka County sets no short-term rental rule—Minnesota cities zone STRs under Minn. Stat. Ch. 462. In Coon Rapids, STRs are banned outright in residential districts (no permit exists). Blaine requires an annual rental license. Check your specific city.
Under Minn. Stat. §462.357, Minnesota cities—not counties—regulate residential land use, so Anoka County itself issues no short-term rental permit; the rule depends on your city. Coon Rapids City Code §12-904 prohibits rentals under 30 consecutive days in residential zoning districts, so no STR permit is available there. Blaine and most Anoka County cities require every rental dwelling to carry an annual rental license with periodic inspection. State-licensed hotels and motels in properly zoned commercial districts are the lawful path for transient lodging. Always confirm with your city’s community-development or housing-services office before listing.
Operating an unlicensed or prohibited rental is a city-code violation abatable as a public nuisance, subject to administrative penalties, fines, and license revocation.
