Lakeville STR operators pay a $100 initial permit fee, a $50 annual renewal, and all federal, state, and local taxes — including the city's local lodging tax under Title 3, Chapter 17 of the city code. Minnesota also imposes state sales tax on rentals under 30 days.
Lakeville charges a $100 initial Short-Term Rental Administrative Permit fee and a $50 annual renewal fee. Beyond the permit fees, the city's STR rules require the owner to pay all federal, state, and local taxes — including the city's local lodging tax as required by Title 3, Chapter 17 of the city code — during the short-term rental permit term. Lakeville's lodging tax authority derives from Minnesota Statutes section 469.190, which lets statutory and home-rule charter cities impose a tax of up to three percent on the gross receipts from furnishing lodging, with 95 percent of proceeds dedicated to marketing and promoting the city as a tourist or convention destination. On top of any local lodging tax, the Minnesota Department of Revenue applies state and local sales tax to lodging when the rental is for less than 30 days (Revenue Notice 17-06). Property owners who rent residential property regularly for profit must register and collect the tax unless they rent exclusively through an accommodations intermediary (such as Airbnb or VRBO), which must register and collect the tax when it brokers or arranges the booking. Lakeville's Finance Department administers local lodging tax remittance.
Failure to pay required federal, state, and local taxes, including the local lodging tax under Title 3, Chapter 17, is a condition violation of the Short-Term Rental Administrative Permit and grounds for enforcement or non-renewal. Unpaid or uncollected state sales/lodging tax is separately enforceable by the Minnesota Department of Revenue against the operator or, where applicable, the accommodations intermediary.
