Wyoming, MI Accessory Structures: ADU Rental Restrictions (2026)

Sec. 90-334 of the Wyoming Zoning Ordinance, adopted by Ordinance No. 3-25 on January 21, 2025, permits accessory dwelling units on single-family zoned lots subject to a list of general requirements. ' The prohibition is absolute and carries no exception in the text for owner-occupied properties, seasonal use, or platform-based rentals; it applies regardless of whether the property owner occupies the primary dwelling or the ADU itself. The ban sits alongside a separate, related condition in subsection (1)(b), which subjects any non-owner-occupied ADU to rental/housing inspection, showing the city's overall approach: ADUs may be rented on a standard, longer-term lease once they clear rental inspection, but they may never be marketed or rented as short-term lodging such as a nightly or weekly stay.

Because this restriction is written into the zoning code rather than the business-licensing chapter, enforcement runs through the same zoning administration and municipal civil infraction process as the rest of Sec. 90-334, rather than through a hotel or transient-lodging license. Owners advertising an ADU on short-term platforms within Wyoming city limits are in violation of this subsection independent of any state or Kent County short-term-rental rules that might otherwise apply to the primary residence.
