Michigan's Child Care Organizations Act preempts local zoning that would exclude licensed family or group child care homes from residential districts.
Under MCL 722.115a, licensed family child care homes (1-6 children) are treated as residential uses by right and cannot be zoned out by local ordinance. Group child care homes (7-12 children) must be permitted in single-family residential districts subject only to special-use review on issues like signage, parking, and on-site staff. LARA's Bureau of Community and Health Systems handles licensing under MCL 722.111 et seq.
Local ordinances that exclude or improperly restrict licensed homes are unenforceable and expose the municipality to civil liability.
