Housing with Services Lodging License Exemption (PDF)

Effective August 1, 2017, businesses holding a Housing with Services (HWS) registration are exempt from lodging licensure for tenant units or apartments.

Statewide Hospitality Fee
In 2005, the Minnesota Legislature created a Statewide Hospitality Fee for all food, beverage, and lodging establishments licensed in the state.

A license is required if you plan to sell food or beverages in Minnesota.

• MN Stat, sec. 157.16
• MN Rules, part 4625.1770
  

The type of food sold and your location will determine which state or local agency will issue the license and do the inspections.
