Prior Lake requires a temporary rental permit ($250 fee) for any allowed residential rental. Failure to obtain the permit before operating triggers an after-the-fact authorization at double the fee.
Under Prior Lake City Code Sections 4-380 through 4-388, even compliant rentals (60+ days) in residential districts must follow the city's rental authorization process. Application fee is $250. The city applies a general rule: any person who fails to obtain a required permit, license, approval, registration, or similar authorization prior to commencement must obtain after-the-fact authorization, comply with all requirements, and pay double the stated fee. Continued operation without a permit can trigger stop-use orders.
Operating an unpermitted rental is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 per day. The double-fee policy applies to any retroactive permit application.
