Washtenaw County has no countywide STR parking standard. Rules are set at the city/township level. Ann Arbor STR licensing requires one off-street space per bedroom (downtown exceptions). Most townships require 2 off-street spaces per single-family dwelling on a hard surface.
Because Michigan counties have limited zoning authority, parking requirements for short-term rentals in Washtenaw County are governed entirely at the city or township level. Ann Arbor's STR ordinance requires one off-street parking space per bedroom available for guest use, with limited exceptions for downtown properties where on-street parking dominates. Townships such as Pittsfield, Scio, Ypsilanti, Superior, and Salem typically require a minimum of two (2) off-street parking spaces per single-family dwelling on an approved hard surface (concrete, asphalt, or pavers) within the buildable area, and prohibit parking on grass or in required front-yard setbacks outside an approved driveway. Many jurisdictions restrict overnight on-street parking; chronic guest overflow that creates a neighborhood nuisance can trigger zoning enforcement.
Local zoning/parking violations: civil infractions, typically $50-$250 per occurrence; repeat or chronic violations can escalate. Vehicles parked on lawns or in violation of overnight rules may be ticketed or towed at owner expense. Ann Arbor STR license can be revoked for repeated parking complaints.
