Macomb County imposes no annual cap on the number of nights a property may be rented short-term. Any night limit is a city or township decision, and Michigan sets no statewide night cap for STRs.
No county ordinance in Macomb County limits how many nights per year an STR may operate. Night caps — annual limits on rentable nights, common in resort markets — are set only by individual municipalities under the Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3101 et seq.). Michigan has no statewide night cap, and the 2024 preemption bill was not enacted, leaving each city and township free to impose one or not. For state use-tax purposes the relevant threshold is stay length, not annual nights: under the Use Tax Act (MCL 205.93a), the 6% tax exempts rentals 'for a continuous period of more than 1 month.' Confirm with your city or township zoning office whether a night cap applies.
There is no county night cap to violate. Where a municipality adopts an annual night limit, exceeding it is a zoning-ordinance violation — a civil infraction with fines and, in licensing communities, possible denial or revocation of the local license.
