Am I required to have auto insurance on a vehicle that is parked on the street in Burnsville, Minnesota, even though I do not drive the vehicle?

According to Minnesota Statute states that every owner of a car which is required to be licensed or registered or is principally garaged in Burnsville, MN shall maintain insurance during the period of use or operation is contemplated.

So it seems that if your vehicle is registered it needs to maintain auto insurance on it. It is also parked or garaged in the state and on a public highway or road so it likely needs to maintain license plates and registration.

You can verify with the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services to verify if there is special insurance or registration that is offered for a car that is non-operational. Some states even offer lower registration rate for inoperable vehicle.
