Maple Grove, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-443
Temporary short-term rental licenses
Operative Text
The city may issue a temporary license to the owner of a short-term rental who has submitted an application and paid the license fee. A temporary license shall authorize the continued operations of the short-term rental in actual existence, pending issuance of a license. A temporary license shall authorize continued operations, which shall be inspected pursuant to section 10-447 . A temporary license indicates only that the owner has submitted an application for a license and paid the required fee, and that the license shall be issued or denied after the building has been inspected for compliance with the minimum standards set forth in section 10-450 . A temporary license is not a determination that the building complies with the housing maintenance code or minimum standards set forth in section 10-450 .
Under Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-443, the city is permitted to issue a temporary short-term rental license to an owner who has submitted a completed application and paid the required fee. This temporary license allows an existing short-term rental to continue operating while the city processes the full license application, but it carries an important limitation: it is not a finding that the property meets the housing maintenance code or the minimum standards outlined in § 10-450. A full license will only be granted or denied after the property has been inspected for compliance with those standards under § 10-447.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of short-term rentals in Maple Grove who are seeking licensure under ch. 10, art. XII § 10-443 generally submit a complete application and pay the license fee promptly to obtain a temporary license that allows continued operations during the review period. Compliant operators understand that the temporary license is an interim status only — it does not confirm that the property meets the minimum standards of § 10-450, and a building inspection under § 10-447 will still take place before a full license is issued or denied. Maintaining the property in compliance with the housing maintenance code ahead of that inspection is a hallmark of responsible short-term rental management.

Guests and neighbors should be aware that under Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-443, a short-term rental displaying only a temporary license has not yet been confirmed to meet the city's minimum housing standards set out in § 10-450 — it means only that the owner has applied and paid the fee. An inspection under § 10-447 is still required before the city makes a final licensing decision. Those with concerns about a short-term rental's compliance may contact the city's relevant licensing or code enforcement office, or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
