Stays under 30 days owe Minnesota's 6.875% sales tax, and cities may add a local lodging tax of up to 3%. Airbnb and Vrbo collect the state sales tax automatically; local lodging tax may need separate registration.
Minnesota charges 6.875% state sales tax on lodging rented for less than 30 days, and the Department of Revenue treats residential short-term rentals as taxable lodging. Scott County cities may also impose a local lodging tax of up to 3% to fund tourism promotion. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo collect and remit the state sales tax, but any local lodging tax may require the host to register and file separately with the city and the state. Keep records; the Minnesota Department of Revenue administers state lodging tax.
Failing to remit tax brings penalties and interest from the Minnesota Department of Revenue, and willful evasion can be charged as a gross misdemeanor.
