MI HB4722

Classifies all dwelling rentals, including short-term rentals, as residential uses and permitted uses in all residential zones without requiring special or conditional use permits.

Prohibits local units of government from adopting or enforcing zoning ordinances that prohibit short-term rentals, but allows regulations consistently applied to both rental and owner-occupied properties regarding noise, advertising, traffic, and nuisances.

Allows local governments to limit short-term rentals under common ownership to a minimum of 2 units and to cap total short-term rentals at no less than 30% of existing residential units in the jurisdiction.

Permits local governments to inspect residences for public health and safety compliance through non-zoning ordinances and to collect authorized taxes on short-term rentals.

Grandfathers zoning ordinance provisions that existed as of July 11, 2019 for local units that had rental overlay districts initiated by petition, allowing continued enforcement and boundary adjustments under those original terms.
