In Lyon County, Minnesota, short-term rentals (STRs), referred to locally as "vacation rentals," are legal but must adhere to specific regulations set forth by the City of Marshall, which oversees rental properties in the region. All residential rental properties, including STRs, are required to register with the city, ensuring that they meet safety, health, and fire codes. The market is particularly favorable for cabins and homes in rural settings, attracting tourists, especially during peak seasons for outdoor activities. However, urban apartments also see demand due to proximity to Marshall’s amenities and local events, appealing more to tourists than business travelers. The zoning and operational guidelines are managed by the Planning and Zoning Department of Lyon County.
