Maple Grove, MN Short-Term Rentals: Registration Rules (2026)

Maple Grove's short-term rental dwelling license is an annual license that requires an annual rental inspection. The first initial application must be done in person at the Maple Grove Government Center, and can be done by the property owner or a manager who lives within the nine-county metro area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Washington, or Wright). The property owner's name on the application must match the state property records. Per City Code section 10-364, the owner or property manager must complete training approved by the Public Safety department before an initial license is issued, or upon any change in property ownership. The short-term license is not transferable to another person or to another rental dwelling unit, and license fees are not refundable. Under the general rental ordinance, every licensee must notify the city's rental housing staff of any changes in names, addresses, or other application information within 72 hours of the change. A license number is assigned and must be posted in all rental listing ads. The application also requires a Minnesota Department of Revenue Certificate of Compliance and a Minnesota Workers' Compensation Law certificate before issuance.
