Genesee County sets no annual limit on how many nights a property may be rented short-term. Any night cap comes from a city or township ordinance. The 29-night threshold you may see is a tax rule, not a rental cap.
There is no countywide cap on the number of nights per year a short-term rental may operate in Genesee County. Under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3201), a municipality could adopt a night cap or seasonal limit, but this is a local choice and most local ordinances instead regulate STRs by zoning district or permit. Do not confuse the 29-night figure in the accommodations-tax rule with a rental cap: that threshold simply defines which stays (29 nights or fewer) are subject to the 5% county tax; it does not limit how many nights per year you may host.
Exceeding a locally adopted night cap is a zoning violation handled by the city or township. The county imposes no night-cap penalty.
