Genesee County has no rule requiring a host to be present during a short-term rental stay. Any host- or agent-presence requirement (such as a local emergency contact) comes from your city or township ordinance, not the county.
Nothing at the county level requires the owner or an on-site host to be present when guests stay. Michigan municipalities set such conditions locally under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3201). Where STRs are permitted, cities and townships commonly require a designated local contact or property manager who can respond within a set time rather than requiring the owner to live on site. Because Genesee County spans many jurisdictions with different rules, confirm any local-contact or presence condition with the specific city or township. The county's only STR requirement is the accommodations tax.
Failing to provide a required local contact or violating a presence condition is enforced by the permitting city or township (fines or permit revocation). The county imposes no host-presence penalty.
