Wyoming, MI Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Sec. 10-3(1)(a) defines "maximum occupancy" as "the maximum number of allowable occupants for the dwelling, as established in this Code," a term the section borrows rather than sets itself. Sec. 10-3(2) bans short-term rentals, defined as 27 days or less, in all residentially zoned districts, so the occupancy question chiefly matters for the four Sec. 10-3(3) carve-outs: family occupancy by a member of the owning family, unpaid house sitting during the owner's absence, up to 90 days of occupancy by a prior owner after closing on a sale, and occupancy by an estate's personal representative, trustee, or guardian.

Sec. 10-3(3)(e) closes the loop, stating that "occupancy requirements and limits as provided in this Code shall be applicable under any of these exceptions," which pulls in the dwelling's numeric maximum occupancy as set under the Wyoming Property Maintenance Code (Sec. , adopting the International Property Maintenance Code 2021) rather than printing a short-term-rental-specific headcount inside Sec. 10-3. The Department of Community and Economic Development, designated under WPMC Sec. 1, administers that underlying occupancy standard alongside its rental-registration and inspection duties.
