Every Minneapolis STR must display its license number on every listing. Platforms must verify the number, and the city maintains a searchable STR license database.
Minneapolis Chapter 281 requires short-term rental licensees to include the assigned city license number prominently in every online listing across Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Furnished Finder, and direct sites. Minneapolis has a platform-accountability provision under which booking platforms must periodically verify that listings in the city carry valid license numbers and must remove unlicensed listings upon city notice. Renewals occur annually with continued proof of insurance, local contact, and owner authorization (for Type C). The city publishes an STR license lookup tool for neighbors and guests. Operating without a license draws fines typically beginning at 500 USD per day and escalating, plus required delisting.
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.
