Kent County imposes no short-term-rental parking rule. Off-street parking standards are set by each city's zoning ordinance. Grand Rapids reviews parking as part of its Home Occupation Class C / special land use process for STRs.
There is no countywide parking standard for short-term rentals in Kent County. Off-street parking requirements are established municipally under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act (MCL 125.3101 et seq.). Grand Rapids evaluates parking and neighborhood impact when it issues a Home Occupation Class C license and any accompanying special land use approval, and its zoning ordinance contains off-street parking space and design requirements for residential uses. Kentwood and other cities similarly regulate driveway and off-street parking through their zoning ordinances. Confirm the minimum off-street spaces and any on-street restrictions with the city where the rental is located.
Parking violations are enforced by city zoning and police under local ordinances; penalties are municipal civil infractions set by each city.
