Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Carver County, MN

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Carver County, MN because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No county-wide short-term rental ordinance or permit program exists at the Carver County level; regulations are set by individual municipalities. For example, the City of Chanhassen requires compliance with nuisance ordinances (10:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m. noise curfew), provision of waste containers, limits on overnight vehicles/guests, and a 'Good Neighbor' brochure. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
