In Livingston County, Michigan, short-term rentals (STRs) are subject to a mix of regulations that vary by township. The term commonly used for these rentals is "short-term rentals," which generally include properties rented out for less than 30 days. In Putnam Township, STRs have been effectively banned on lakes and residential areas, with restrictions allowing them only on commercial or qualifying agricultural land, requiring registration and inspection. In contrast, Hamburg Township permits STRs with specific requirements, including obtaining a land use permit and adhering to safety standards. Properties such as cabins in rural settings and homes near lakes are particularly popular, serving mainly tourists seeking recreational opportunities. Meanwhile, the area also caters to business travelers due to its proximity to larger metropolitan hubs. Oversight of STR regulations in the county falls under the jurisdiction of local township governments, each responsible for implementing its regulations.
