STR Regulatory Snapshot
Short-Term Rental Regulations Across the West Michigan Lakeshore
The regulatory landscape for short-term rentals in West Michigan is in active flux. Townships across all eight lakeshore counties have been passing, amending, or enforcing STR ordinances at a rapid pace, and the rules vary significantly from one municipality to the next.
This snapshot compiles the current regulatory status, including permit requirements, caps, owner-occupancy rules, and enforcement activity, for communities across Berrien, Van Buren, Allegan, Ottawa, Muskegon, Oceana, Mason, and Manistee counties. It's maintained by Brian Elmore and updated as regulations change.
